    Chicken Malai Boti is a very luscious chicken based dish which turns out to be a great option while planning an evening of BBQ!

    About This Recipe

    Malai means “cream” and Boti means “chicken”. It is an easy and delicious North Indian appetiser where chicken pieces are marinated twice and then grilled to perfection until golden browned.

    The first marination is prepared with minimal ingredients such as lemon juice, ginger and garlic, whereas the second is full of fresh cream, hung curd, and other rich ingredients. It is super creamy and known for its melt in mouth texture.

    It is perfect to serve for barbecue parties, house parties or game/movie nights. It is a great make ahead dish for a bigger crowd.

    Ingredients

    Chicken – This recipe needs boneless chicken thighs, as it is skewed for grilling.

    For first marination – You will need only 5 ingredients for the first marination – lemon juice, ginger paste, garlic paste, salt and red chilli powder.

    You can adjust the red chilli powder depending on how spicy you want the chicken to be.

    For second marination – Once the chicken is marinated for about an hour, we will add it in the second marination prepared with hung curd, fresh cream, green chilli paste, spice powders, oil, almond paste, processed cheese and corn flour.

    You can either make hung curd at home or use a store bought one. Do not use regular curd, as it will add moisture in the chicken marination.

    Addition of fresh cream and processed cheese makes it nice and cheesy.

    Apart from this almond paste is also added, which makes the mixture extra rich. You can also use cashew paste instead.

    This recipe uses basic spice powders such as garam masala powder, white pepper powder and roasted cumin powder. Adjust the quantity depending on your taste.

    Serving Suggestions

    Chicken Malai Boti tastes great with dahi chutney or green chutney, sliced onions and lemon wedges on the side. Leftover chicken malai boti can be used to make rolls and wraps with a smear of green chutney and sliced onions.

    Storing Suggestions

    Chicken Malai Boti can be stored in an air tight container for about 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in a pan, microwave or oven until nice and warm.

      Hello
      I am huge fan of your blog! Your recipes are mouthwatering.

      In this recipe you mentioned processed cheese do you mean cheese slices or shredded cheese?

      Thank you

        Shredded means grated. So you can use a cube and grate it. In India Amul have processed cheese. It comes in a block too.
