Malai Boti Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Marinade:

  • 500g boneless chicken (cut into cubes)
  • 1 cup thick yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
  • In a large bowl, combine yogurt, heavy cream, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, vegetable oil, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well until smooth.
  1. Marinate the Chicken:
  • Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best results).
  1. Skewering:
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.
  1. Cooking:
  • You can either grill, bake, or pan-fry the skewers:
    • Grilling: Preheat the grill and cook the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
    • Baking: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and bake for about 20-25 minutes, turning halfway.
    • Pan-frying: Heat a little oil in a pan and cook the skewers on medium heat until the chicken is cooked through.
  1. Serve:
  • Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with lemon wedges, naan, or rice.

Enjoy your delicious Malai Boti!
