Thank you for the recipe Rhonda Scheurer. This is a very nice recipe. I like the flavour of the dish. It was very easy to prepare. I used a wok pan to stir fry the chicken so the juice from the marinade did not splatter everywhere. I actually halved the recipe so next I am going to stick to the original quanities as the cayenne pepper a little of the hot side for a Chicken Tikka. However, this is more than likely because of my resizing of quanities. Once I cook this to the exact quanities I am sure that the cayenne pepper will blend in with the other ingredients. So I will revisit my review once I have cooked this recipe again. Many thanks.
