Tawa chicken

Tawa chicken

Is responsible for this ,he sent a pic of what he ate a restaurant and than my mind obviously always thinks about food ,so we went out got chicken and chillies as I had to eat it tonight!

Saw a couple if recipes but ended up making my own version,no idea how close it is to authentic taste but we all loved it ,I decided to make it with butter ,as everything tastes better with butter!

• 2 lbs bone chicken thighs in medium pieces

• Green chillies 5-6 use less if u want

• Garlic 6 cloves minced

• Ginger one inch minced and extra to julienne to garnish

• Tomatoes 2 sliced

• Butter 2 tbsp

• Cilantro half bunch chopped

• Lemon 1

• Salt 1 tsp

• Turmeric 1/2 tsp

• Red chilli flakes 1/4-1/2 tsp

• Coriander powder 1 tbsp

• Cumin powder 1 tbsp

• Garam masala 1 tsp

• Fengreek/ kasuri methi 1 tsp

• So I marinated chicken with half quantities of all the above spices (except fenugreek)and saved the half to add later

• Also slice and add 1 green chilli to let marinate, let it marinate for however long you can

• Melt butter on your tawa

• Add matlrinated chicken

• Fry on hit heat for 5-6 min till a bit of colour to chicken

• Add tomatoes,fry 1-2 minutes then add the ginger ,garlic and rest of spices

• Fry a few minutes on medium heat ,then cover and cook 10-15 minutes

• Add little water if you need, i dont like adding any water to my dry chicken dishes, tomatoes give the usual moisture and turning heat low will prevent sticking but if needed ,add water

• Once cooked add cilantro and sliced chillies,fry 2 minutes

• Add lemon juice ad serve garnished with lemon,chillies,cilantro and julienne ginger

• Eat with naan or roti
