What Is Unique About Malai Chicken?

Indian cuisine is noted for its creamy, rich dishes like malai chicken. Since "malai" means "cream," the marinade usually comprises of yogurt, cream, and a mixture of spicy spices. The outcome is chicken that virtually melts in your mouth—it's moist and soft. We've added a playful twist to this traditional meal by making it into roll-ups, which makes it ideal for sharing or eating on its own.

 

Ingredients Required

 

Regarding the Marinade for Chicken:

  - 500g of thinly sliced, boneless chicken breasts or thighs

  - A cup of plain yogurt

  - Half a cup of thick cream

  - Two teaspoons of ginger-garlic paste

  - One tablespoon of juiced lemon

  - One tablespoon of masala garam

  - One teaspoon of powdered red chili

  - To taste salt - Chopped fresh coriander (for garnish)

 

Regarding the Roll-Ups:

  - Four sizable parathas or tortillas

  - One cup of finely sliced red, yellow, or green bell peppers

  - One cup of chopped lettuce leaves

  - 1/2 cup of shredded cheese (more richness optional)

  - Mint chutney or your preferred dipping sauce

 

Detailed Instructions

 

1. Give the chicken some marinade.

In a large bowl, combine yogurt, cream, red chili powder, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, garam masala, and salt. After adding the chicken strips, completely cover them with marinade. For optimal taste, cover and refrigerate for a minimum of one to two hours, preferably overnight.

 

2. Prepare the chicken.

Set the temperature of your skillet or grill to medium-high. Take the chicken out of the marinade and let any extra runoff. The chicken strips should be cooked through and have a small sear after grilling for five to seven minutes on each side. If you'd like, you may fry them in a pan with a little oil. After cooking, allow them to cool for a few minutes before slicing into thin slices.

 

3. Get the roll-ups ready.

  To make the tortillas or parathas more malleable, quickly reheat them in a pan. Start by covering each tortilla with a good helping of cooked chicken, a couple of slices of bell pepper, and a handful of lettuce. Sprinkle the cheese on top if using it.

 

4. Convert Them

To make a tidy roll, carefully roll each tortilla firmly, tucking in the edges as you roll from one end. If needed, use a toothpick to secure each roll.

 

5. Present and Savor!

To make handling easier, cut the roll-ups in half and serve them warm with your preferred dipping sauce or mint chutney. Add some fresh coriander as a garnish for an extra taste boost.

 

Advice for Optimal Roll-Ups

 

  - Prepare Ahead: To enhance the flavor and simplify dinner preparation, marinate the chicken the night before.

  - Personalize Your Fillings: If you want more crunch, feel free to add other vegetables like cucumbers or shredded carrots.

  - Spice Level: To suit your preferred level of heat, vary the amount of red chili powder.
