Instructions
- Grind onion, garlic, ginger & green chilli with 2 tbsp. yogurt and make a paste.
- Strain the paste, discarding the fiber left on the strainer and add the leftover yogurt to the strained liquid.
- Grind cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, cumin seeds, cloves and nutmeg into a fine powder.
- Mix salt and paprika to the lemon juice and add it to the chicken and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Add the powdered spices and oil to the yogurt and mix well. Add this mixture to the chicken and let it rest for at least 4 hours.
- Place the chicken in a baking tray lined with aluminum foil and bake it for 1 hour at 400 F, turning it half way through.
- The chicken will be moist with some gravy left.
- Put a ramekin with little oil inside a pot and add chicken to the pot.
- Place a red-hot coal inside the ramekin and close the pot lid. It will give a smoky flavor to the chicken.
- Finally, shred the chicken.
- Warm the parathas on a skillet and add mint chutney, onion and chicken.
- Make a roll and enjoy with Mint Chutney or Tamarind Sauce.
Recipe Notes
- This recipe works well with bone-in or boneless chicken.
- You can also grill the chicken instead of baking it. If you do so, you can omit the step with coal as grilling will give the chicken a smoky taste.
- To make this recipe dairy-free, omit the yoghurt and double the lemon
- To make this recipe gluten-free, you can make the wraps with gluten free tortillas
- You can add more veggies if you like to make it more hearty.
