Malai Chicken Tikka
Serves: 4-6
This dish is named malai tikka because malai in Urdu is cream. It is very soft and creamy to the touch and literally melts in the mouth. The malai tikka is traditionally served with sliced onion rings washed in cold water and sprinkled with salt and lemon juice, tomato and cucumber slices, and spicy green chilles. Also, you can have naan or rice with this dish. Be warned, there won’t be any leftover!
