Tandoori chicken roll is a famous Indian street food that is made of succulent chicken pieces that are cooked in a tandoor oven or a tawa.
Ingredients:
1 lb chicken, boneless and skinless
1/2 cup plain yoghurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-inch piece of ginger, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil or ghee, divided
10-12 small whole wheat tortillas or rotis (or use store-bought)
Toppings:
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves or mint leaves (or a combination of both)
Instructions:
In a large bowl, whisk together yoghurt, lemon juice, cumin powder, chilli powder, turmeric and salt. Add in garlic and ginger and mix well.
Cut the chicken into small bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Mix everything together so the chicken is well coated.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil or ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces in batches and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes per batch.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Assemble the rolls by adding some chicken to each tortilla or roti along with onions, tomatoes and cucumber. Top the roll with mayo or ketchup or mint chutney according to your taste preference.
