Chicken Paratha Roll

Succulent spiced chicken drizzled with an easy tangy sauce and wrapped in a warm paratha, this is the stuff of cravings!

Ingredients

6 Store-bought parathas cooked per package instructions ((4 if you like very stuffed rolls))
1 lb Chicken
1/2 cup Yogurt
2 tbsp Lemon Juice ((half a lemon))
1 tsp Red Chili Powder
1 tsp Salt
1.5 tsp Ginger Paste
1.5 tsp Garlic Paste
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp Green Chili Paste ((or 2-3 minced green chilies))
1 tsp Cumin Powder
1 tsp Coriander Powder
1 pc coal for smoking (optional)
Oil for cooking and/or soaked wooden skewers if barbecuing
1 cup Yoghurt
1/2 tbsp Red Chili Powder
1/2 tbsp Cumin Powder
1/2 3/4 tsp Salt
1 tbso Lemon Juice
2-3 Green Chilies
4-5 Mint leaves
1 tsp Chaat Masala
1 Onion
2 tbsp Mint (chopped)

1
Cut the chicken into one inch pieces and add in all the marinade ingredients and leave for a minimum of 2 hours and up to overnight. Tip: if you have less time to marinade then make your chicken pieces smaller.
2
Heat a saute pan and add 2-3 tbsp of oil, cook the chicken sauteeing occasionally until cooked through. If grilling the chicken then simply thread it onto presoaked wooden skewers and grill for a few minutes on each side until cooked through.
3
Heat a piece of coal until you can see hot red spots. Then place the coal on a piece of oil (or an onion skin) inside your sauté pan, drizzle with a little oil and immediately cover the dish with an airtight lid until the smoke dissipates.
4
Combine 1/2 the yoghurt (1/2 a cup) and all the chutney ingredients in a mini blender and puree. Stir in the remaining yoghurt - this prevent your chutney from getting too watery. Adjust seasoning to taste - this chutney should be spicy.
5
Thinly slice your onion and soak in cold water for 30 minutes to get rid of any bitterness
6
Drain then mix in the mint.
7
Place your paratha on a clean surface, create a line of chicken pieces, layer on the onion mix, and then the chutney. Roll up the paratha and wrap in foil/paper and serve with extra chutney on the side. Fries and Garlic Mayo (recipe in post) are always welcome!
