Pineapple Chicken Tikka Recipe is a super easy starter that you can make quickly for any parties or just as a special starter for your brunch. The chicken is marinated with the strong flavors of Indian masala like red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder and amchoor powder. Each chef and each region of North India brings out his or her own flavors into the chicken tikka. We have created a twist by combining with pineapple which is skewered along with chicken, cooked over a grill top pan.
