When you are suddenly craving for a spicy tikka and you don't have any meat or much ingredients at hand you should try this! We always stock up eggs in our pantry so this should be the most feasible tikka recipe and its also uncomplicated, delicious too. Just a few minutes are enough to prepare these egg tikkas. You can serve it as starter or snack also. I have shared both the stove top and oven method in the description, just follow the one that would be easy for you. But if you own a tandoor oven please do use it as it gives a nice smoky flavor.
