Cooking
- Heat oil in a tawa or skillet over medium heat.
- Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and place it on the hot tawa.
- Cook the chicken for about 7-10 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and beautifully golden brown.
- Once done, garnish with freshly chopped coriander.
- Serve hot alongside naan or rice for a complete meal.
Notes
For the best flavor, let the chicken marinate as long as possible. Serve with naan, basmati rice, or cucumber raita for a balanced meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
