Ingredients
Instructions
Marinate the Chicken;
-
-
1. In a large mixing bowl, add the bite-sized chicken pieces. Season the chicken with salt, cumin powder, coriander powder, and white pepper. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies to the bowl.
-
2. Incorporate Greek yogurt, double cream, and lemon juice into the marinade.
-
3. Use your hands or a spoon to mix all the ingredients until the chicken pieces are well-coated. Ensure that the marinade is evenly distributed for maximum flavor.
-
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Ideally, let the chicken marinate overnight to enhance the flavors. If you're short on time, marinating for at least 2 hours can still yield good results.
Cook the Chicken;
-
-
5. When ready to cook, heat a skillet over medium heat and add cooking oil.
-
6. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Spread it out evenly to ensure even cooking.
-
7. Initially, cook the chicken on low heat. This step helps prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.
-
8. As the chicken starts to bubble, increase the heat to high. Cook until most of the moisture evaporates and the chicken is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
9. Once the chicken is cooked and tender, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cheese to melt, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
-
10. For a crispy, golden crust, you can broil the dish in an oven preheated to 190°C for about 5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
Serve;
-
-
11. Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the Malai Tawa Boti with freshly chopped coriander.
-
12. Serve the dish hot with lemon wedges and onion rings on the side for added flavor and freshness.
