My fascination and fixation for tikkas will never leave me. Tikka literally means small pieces, so be it fish, meat ,chicken, paneer or tofu… just “tikka” them! You can marinate them in so many different ways and flavor them with spices, or herbs or just turmeric and ginger garlic. Imagination is all one needs… So…this time i had a tub of cream cheese sitting in the refrigerator and i thought i need to do something with it….. I was in a nearby town recently and made a tikka for my freind Mercedes and i wanted to make it home and share the recipe with all of you because it turned out really wonderful, or so they said. So…i put on my thinking cap and got an idea!!!

In a blender ( i used my amazing bullet) add all the ingredients except the chicken and blend.
