Instructions
Chicken Tikka:
- In a bowl, mix chicken with yogurt, lemon juice, oil, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and spices. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to broiler mode and place the rack on the top shelf.
- Thread the chicken onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them first). Suspend the skewers over a baking dish.
- Broil for 7-8 minutes on one side, then flip and broil for another 7 minutes until nicely charred.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, remove from skewers, and chop into bite-sized pieces. Toss in the juices for extra flavor.
Yogurt Mayo Sauce:
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
Green Chutney:
- Blend all ingredients until smooth. Add water as needed for desired consistency.
Assembly:
- Cook frozen parathas on the stovetop according to package instructions until golden and flaky.
- Spread a generous layer of yogurt mayo sauce over the paratha.
- Place a line of chicken tikka down the center.
- Add thinly sliced onions, green chutney, tamarind chutney, and chopped cilantro.
- Roll tightly into a wrap.
- Air-fry at 325°F for 3-4 minutes to crisp before serving.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra smokiness, place a hot charcoal piece in a small foil cup, drizzle oil on it, and cover for 5 minutes before serving.
- You can grill the chicken instead of broiling for an authentic BBQ flavor.
- Store any extra chutney in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
