Preparation time : 10 mins
Cooking time : 10 mins
Serves : 4
Ingredients:
1/2 cup left over chicken
8 bread slices( I used brown bread, you can use any breads of your choice)
2 medium size potatoes(boiled peeled and mashed)
1 tsp of ginger garlic paste
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp garam masala powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soya sauce
1 tablespoon Cilantro (hara dhania), finely chopped
Oil to fry
Directions || to prepare Chicken Bread Rolls
To prepare the filling
Pick up all the chicken pieces from the curry and shred them all.
In a bowl mix all the ingredients shredded chicken,mashed potatoes,ginger garlic paste,red chilli,garam masala,salt,soya sauce,chopped coriander
and knead lightly to form a soft dough.
To prepare the rolls
Trim the edges of the bread slices and set aside.
Fill a small bowl with water to wet the bread.
Dip one side of a slice of the bread lightly in the water. Place the slice between your palms and press, squeezing out the excess water. This makes the bread
moist.
Place the filling in the center of this bread and mold the bread to completely cover it all around, giving an oval shape. Repeat to make all the rolls.
Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium high heat. Drop the rolls slowly into it, taking care not to overlap them.
Fry the bread rolls until they are golden brown, turning occasionally. This should take about two to three minutes. Take them out over a paper towel.
Serve them hot with any chutney or ketchup.
Tips:
Before frying, let the roll sit for about five minutes. This will evaporate some of the water from the bread so that it
absorbs less oil while frying; also making the bread rolls crisper
Malai Chicken Tikka
Malai kebab or Malai Tikka gets its name as malai/fresh cream which is one of the key ingredient of this dish.
I wanted to try this juicy, melt-in-mouth succulent tikka from a long time ,finally I succeeded !!!
Sharing with you this recipe of delicious and aromatic spicy creamy base chicken malai tikka.
Ingredients
500gms Boneless chicken, cut into 1½ pieces
2 cubes of cheese grated
¼ cup Fresh cream
¼ corn starch powder
1 tsp Ginger garlic paste
½ tsp black pepper powder
1 tsp nutmeg powder
1 tsp lemon juice’
1 tsp sugar powder
Butter for cooking
1½ tsp Salt
Directions || To prepare Malai tikka Kebab
For the first marination
Clean, cut and dry your chicken cubes using kitchen towels.
The marinade works best if the chicken is dried thoroughly from any moisture.
Add ginger/garlic pastes, nutmeg powder, pepper powder and lemon juice and half of the salt.
Mix well and refrigerate for an hour.
For the second marination
Take the grated cheese and mash the cheese to form a smooth paste
Add the cheese to the chicken and corn starch mix it well.
Next add fresh cream to the chicken and mix it gently, combine well and refrigerate again for 4 hours or preferably overnight.
How to cook the tikka’s
Thread the chicken pieces on skewers (if you’re using wooden skewers, remember to soak them for 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning).
Turn on your oven’s grill/broiler to 200 C and grill for about 10-12 minutes per side.
Turn the skewers over once they begin to color; keep an eye that the chicken doesn’t burn.
You can brush them with some melted butter midway through grilling. You can even grill these on a proper charcoal grill.
Alternatively, you can shallow fry the skewered chicken on a pan on both sides until cooked through.
I have used a grill stand and placed it on the gas stove and barbeque it slowly on the medium flame.
Serve hot with accompaniments of your choice or garnish it with carrots, onion rings or lettuce leaves.
Enjoy!!
Tips
Marinate the chicken and cheese at room temperature else both will leave water.
