ABOUT Tawa Chicken RECIPE

Tawa Chicken is originally a Punjabi Cuisine, which is very popular in every restaurant and dhabas. This is my version of it where I used some boneless chicken cubes and gave a smokey flavour to it.

Ingredients Serving: 4

450 gms. boneless chicken cubes
salt to taste
1 tsp. red chili powder
1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
1-2 tbsp. vinegar
2-3 tbsp. oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 tsp. ginger, chopped
1 tsp. garlic, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
2 green chilies, chopped
1 tsp. garam masala powder
1 tsp. kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves), crushed
2 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped
1 small charcoal
1" cinnamon stick
2 green cardamoms
3-4 cloves
few sliced onion to garnish

Instructions

Marinate the chicken cubes with salt to taste, turmeric powder, red chili powder and vinegar for 2-3 hours.
Heat oil on a non-stick tawa / griddle and fry the chicken on high flame till they are lightly browned.
Now add the onion, ginger and garlic and saute, covered till light brown on low flame. Sprinkle water if necessary.
Add the tomatoes, green chilies and 1/2 cup water and continue to cook, covered till well mashed up and done.
Add the coriander leaves, garam masala and crushed kasuri methi and give it a mix. Switch off the flame and keep it covered for 5 minutes.
Now to give a smokey flavour, burn a small piece of charcoal and place in a small steel bowl along with 1" cinnamon stick, 2 cardamoms and 2-3 cloves.
Place the bowl in the centre of the tawa and pour a tsp. of oil on it. Immediately cover with a lid for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and then serve on another tawa, garnished with onion slices.
