Chicken Paratha Recipe
Ingredients
- 250 grams boneless chicken
- 1 tsp ginger and garlic crushed into paste form
- 1 tsp crushed red chili or to taste
- ¼ tsp paprika powder (optional)
- ½ tsp crushed cumin seeds (zeera)
- ½ tsp coriander powder (dhania powder)
- 1-2 pinches of turmeric (haldi powder)
- salt to taste
- ¼ tsp crushed black pepper or to taste
- 1 tsp vinegar
- ⅓ cup yogurt (dahi)
- 1-2 tbsp oil to cook the marinated chicken
- 1 small sized onion
- 1 green chili
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander (taza dhania)
Dough
- 1 cup refined flour
- 1 cup wheat flour (gandum ka ataa)
- ½ tsp salt
- water as required
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add the ginger and garlic paste, crushed red chili, paprika powder, cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric, salt, black pepper, vinegar and yogurt. Mix well to make a marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and coat them well. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight for better results.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook on high flame for a minute. Cook on low flame for about 15 minutes with the lid on until the chicken is tender and dry.
- Add the onion, green chili and fresh coriander and cook for another few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and golden.
- Transfer the chicken filling to a plate and let it cool slightly.
Dough Preparation
- In a large bowl, mix the refined flour, wheat flour and salt together.
- Gradually add water and knead the mixture into a smooth and soft dough.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 20 minutes.
Assembling
- Divide the dough into equal-sized balls. Roll out each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
- Place some chicken filling in the center of one circle. Fold the edges over the filling and seal them well. Press lightly to flatten the stuffed circle.
- Heat a griddle (tawa) over medium-high heat. Grease it lightly with oil or ghee.
- Place the paratha on the griddle and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown spots appear. Apply some oil or ghee on both sides while cooking.
- Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Serve hot with yogurt, chutney or pickle.
