Chicken tikka is high on calories and fats. Chicken has a high calorific value and is rich in proteins. Cooking chicken tikka is time-consuming. Yoghurt and spices have many antioxidants and are healthy.

Dieticians advise not to eat chicken tikka as it helps to put on weight. We can also cut a few calories from chicken tikka by altering the cooking method. We can limit the use of ghee and butter, which limits fat intake. Instead, we can use vegetable oil for cooking. We can use brown rice as an alternative to Basmati rice. Brown rice is a healthy whole grain with fewer calories than basmati rice.
