Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 frozen flour parathas
  • 1 pound boneless chicken diced
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander seeds
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1/4 tsp haldi turmeric
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp yogurt
Chutney
  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 2 tbsp imlee ki chutney tamarind chutney
  • 2 tbsp hari chutney mint chutney
Pickled Onions
  • 1 onion red or sweet onion
  • 1 cup ice water
  • 1/2 cup vinegar white
  • 1 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Start off by pickling the onions. In a small bowl add the onions, water, vinegar and salt. Cover and refrigerate till you’re ready to assemble the paratha rolls.These keep in the fridge for up to 3 weeks in an airtight container
  2. Next make the chutney. In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, imlee and mint chutney. Taste for salt and adjust accordingly, then set aside. 
  3. Next marinate the chicken. In a medium bowl add the chicken, spices, yogurt, and garlic and mix well. Cover and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, overnight works great as well. 
  4. To cook, heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan and sauté till the chicken is cooked through and has some color on it, approximately 7-8 minutes. To assemble, prepare the frozen parathas according to package instructions. Spread some chutney on one half on your paratha. Add some chicken and onions on top, then roll tightly and secure with parchment paper/wax paper. Serve immediately.

Notes

You can make these a few hours in advance if you're making them for a large group. Just roll them in some wax paper or foil. Yo can keep them at room temperature for a couple hour, but if they won't be eaten for longer refrigerate them. The best way to reheat these is in the oven, at 300F for about 20-25 minutes. That should warmth them through. For best results, serve immediately with extra chutney on the side
You can use a homemade paratha, but I find that the frozen flour parathas are very convenient and have great flavor and texture. I use dawn frozen parathas. You can find them at any Indian/Pakistani grocery store. Some Arab grocery stores carry them as well.
