Trivia
[Hardcore] Magic power salad solving at one stroke the worry of global dieters 'Want to build muscle, but tired of monotonous salad chicken'. Since Chicken Tikka itself is a chunk of yogurt/spices, it directly functions as exquisite 'rich dressing'. Eliminating oil-used dressings completely, establishing flavor solely with 'lemon juice and black salt (rock salt)' is Indian style's ultimate subtraction method.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Messily mix chicken/veg in bowl with fork, making 'gooey chopped salad' where spices/lemon juice completely emulsify, shoveling in with spoon!
