Chicken Tawa Fry is a mouthwatering dish. The process involves simply mixing the ingredients with the chicken and then grilling. Chicken is marinated along with the spices and cooked on low-medium flame. This makes the dish extraordinary. Here no deep-frying is involved so it also makes the dish healthy.
Chicken Tawa fry can be taken with mayonnaise, chips or green chutney. It can also be used as fillings in sandwiches and rolls.
You can try this recipe with country chicken too but remember to marinate for a longer time and add 1 teaspoon extra curds. In this case, the curd need not be very thick.
The same recipe can be used for making Fish Tawa Fry(Tandoori style)
Ingredients
500 g of chicken
2 tablespoon mustard oil (you can use any other oil of your
choice if you want)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoon red chili powder
1 teaspoon garam masala powder
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
1/4 teaspoon kasuri methi
1/2 lemon
1 tablespoon curd
1/2 teaspoon salt/salt to taste
Method
Marination of chicken
Wash the chicken and remove any excess water. Add the turmeric powder, chilli powder,garam masala powder,ginger-garlic paste and salt and mix well.
Then add curd and mix well. The curd should be thick.
You will notice the colour of the marination change.
Finally, add kasuri methi(dried fenugreek leaves) and squeeze the lemon. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and give a final mix.
Keep it in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes. If the marination time increases the taste of the chicken also increases.If you want you can also keep the marinated chicken in the fridge overnight.
Preparation of the Chicken
Take a grill tawa and heat the tawa well. Apply oil using a brush. If you want you can add 1 teaspoon of oil. In this recipe, I have added the oil.
Now place the marinated chicken on the pan on low-medium flame. Cover it with a lid. Do not disturb for 10 minutes. Now turn the pieces.
Note: If the chicken sticks while trying to turn over, wait further. Repeat the same procedure. As you cover the chicken with a lid water will be released. Cook till the chicken is dry. The Chicken Tawa Fry is ready to be relished. Enjoy with mayonnaise!!!:) Please subscribe for more easy recipes.
