Non-stick Pan - Ideal for sautéing shrimp and allowing easy cleanup, crucial for the grilling process of shrimp tikka.
Electric Grill / Induction Cooktop - Essential for achieving a perfect char on the shrimp without oil, enhancing flavor as recommended in many recipes.
Mandoline Slicer - Useful for quickly and evenly slicing mangoes or other ingredients needed for the chutney or garnish if preferred over a knife.
Food Processor (Optional) - Can be used to blend fresh ingredients efficiently, although not strictly necessary given that many recipes involve manual chopping and mixing.
Mixing Bowls - Necessary for preparing the marinade, chutney, and any accompaniments like salad or rice.
Spatula Set (Different sizes) - Important for handling shrimp on grills and stovetops without damaging them.
Grill Brush - Useful for cleaning the grill, ensuring optimal cooking conditions by preventing residue buildup from previous uses.
Cutting Board (Individual Sizes) - Essential for safely preparing ingredients on a dedicated surface to avoid cross-contamination and ensure efficiency.
Garlic Press - While not mandatory, it can speed up the process of garlic preparation when making the marinade or chutney, enhancing flavor quickly and efficiently.
Citrus Juicer (Optional) - Can be handy if a recipe specifically calls for freshly squeezed lemon juice in the shrimp tikka marinade or garnish, though not essential.
