Ingredients
  

  • 500 gm boneless chicken cut into 2-3 inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic powder or paste
  • 1 tbsp paprika powder
  • 2-3 tbsp Piri Piri spice mix I have used Keya's Piri Piri instant multi-purpose spice mix
  • 20 gm or 1 cube processed cheese grated
  • 1 tsp cornflour
  • 2-3 tbsp fresh cream
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Melted butter for basting
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves finely chopped (for garnishing)
  • Onion rings for garnishing
  • Mint-Coriander chutney for garnishing

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add yoghurt, ginger-garlic powder, paprika powder, Piri Piri spice powder. Mix everything nicely.
  2. Add grated cheese, cornflour, salt, fresh cream and oil. Mix well.
  3. Add the boneless chicken pieces. Coat well with the yoghurt mix. Marinade for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  4. Preheat oven to 180-degree Celsius for 10-15 minutes. Line a baking tray with foil and grease it with butter.
  5. Place the chicken pieces on the tray and bake for 20 minutes. Bast with melted butter once it starts browning.
  6. You can also cook them in a skillet or pan. Just heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook each side for 5-7 minutes or until it gets a golden colour.
  7. Sprinkle freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with onion rings and mint-coriander chutney. Enjoy!
