Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 knob ginger
Bash the garlic and ginger with a tiny sprinkle of salt in a mortar and pestle to a rough paste.
- salt
- 6 whole boneless skinless chicken thighs
Halve each chicken thigh lengthwise and cut across into chunks; put in a large bowl on a scale.
- 10 g salt
- 3 g MSG
- ½ whole lime
- 4 g ground cumin
- 1 spoonful Kashmiri chili powder
- ½ spoonful turmeric
- 15 cranks black pepper
- 50 g plain Greek yogurt
- 10 g tomato paste
Add the salt, MSG, lime juice, cumin, Kashmiri chili powder, turmeric, black pepper, Greek yogurt, tomato paste and the garlic-ginger paste; mix by hand until completely coated.
Spread the chicken on a baking sheet with space between every piece, using two trays if needed, so the liquid steams off and the edges char.
Broiling for charred edges
- ½ whole lime
- ½ whole Roma tomato
- 5 g salt
- 5 whole small green chilies
- fresh cilantro
- 15 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 15 g unsweetened coconut flakes

Chutney: blend the lime juice, tomato, salt, green chilies, cilantro, mint, coconut flakes and some water until completely smooth; adjust consistency with more cilantro and taste for salt and citrus.

Cook the paratha in a little ghee in a pan over medium heat until golden brown and crisp.
