Ingredients
  

  • 6 Frozen Parathas

For Chicken Marination:

  • 454 g Chicken
  • ½ cup Yogurt
  • Half Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Red Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Ginger Paste
  • ½ tsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tsp Green Chili Paste
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • Oil For Frying
  • 1 Onion
  • 2 tbsp Mint Leaves
  • Charcoal For Smoke

For Chutney:

  • 1 cup Yogurt
  • ½ tbsp  Red Chili Powder
  • ½ tbsp  Cumin Powder
  • ½ tsp  Salt
  • 1 tbsp  Lemon Juice
  • 2-3 Green Chilies
  • 5-6 Mint Leaves
  • 1 tsp Chaat Masala

Instructions
 

For Chicken:

  • Cut the chicken into one inch pieces and add in all the marinade ingredients and leave for a minimum of 2 hours and up to overnight. Tip: if you have less time to marinade then make your chicken pieces smaller.
  • Heat a saute pan and add 2-3 tbsp of oil, cook the chicken sauteeing occasionally until cooked through. If grilling the chicken then simply thread it onto presoaked wooden skewers and grill for a few minutes on each side until cooked through.
  • Heat a piece of coal until you can see hot red spots. Then place the coal on a piece of oil (or an onion skin) inside your sauté pan, drizzle with a little oil and immediately cover the dish with an airtight lid until the smoke dissipates.

Chutney:

  • Combine ½ the yoghurt (½ a cup) and all the chutney ingredients in a mini blender and puree. Stir in the remaining yoghurt - this prevent your chutney from getting too watery. Adjust seasoning to taste - this chutney should be spicy.

Onion Mix:

  • Thinly slice your onion and soak in cold water for 30 minutes to get rid of any bitterness.
  • Drain then mix in the mint.

Assembling:

  • Place your paratha on a clean surface, create a line of chicken pieces, layer on the onion mix, and then the chutney. Roll up the paratha and wrap in foil/paper and serve with extra chutney on the side.
  • You can reheat a wrapped paratha roll in the oven to really yummy effect!
