Instructions

1: Marinating the Chicken

1. First, wash the boneless chicken thoroughly, cut it into small cubes, and drain excess water.
2. In a bowl, add the chicken along with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, tikka boti masala, red chili powder, and salt to taste.
3. Mix everything well so the masala coats the chicken evenly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 2: Cooking Tikka Boti

1. Heat 2 tbsp of cooking oil in a pan or karhai over medium heat.
2. Add the marinated chicken and cook until the water dries up and the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
3. Coal Smoke (Barbecue Flavor): To give it a restaurant-style smoky flavor, place a small foil bowl in the center of the chicken, put a glowing piece of charcoal on it, add a few drops of oil or butter, and cover the pan tightly for 2–3 minutes.

Step 3: Preparing the Vegetables

1. In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, add chopped garlic, and sauté lightly.
2. Add sliced onions, mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, capsicum), and chopped tomatoes.
3. Toss in soy sauce, black pepper powder, and salt to taste. Stir-fry on high flame for a short time so the vegetables retain their fresh crunch.

Step 4: Boiling the Rice

1. Soak the Basmati rice in water for 30 minutes.
2. Boil water in a large pot, add whole spices (cloves, black cardamom, bay leaves) and salt.
3. Add the soaked rice and boil until it is about 90% cooked, then drain the water completely.

Step 5: Final Serving

1. Spread the boiled rice evenly on a large serving platter.
2. Top the rice with the prepared juicy mixed vegetables and flavorful chicken tikka boti.
3. Serve hot and enjoy!

Pro tips

Chicken Marination Time: Marinate the chicken for at least 1 to 2 hours. If you have time, keeping it in the fridge overnight makes the chicken juicy and flavor-packed.

Charcoal Smoke : Do not skip the charcoal smoke step to get that authentic barbecue flavor. It gives the dish a wonderful dhaba or restaurant-style aroma.

Crunchy Vegetables: Do not overcook the vegetables. Stir-fry them quickly on a high flame so they retain their bright color and fresh crunch.

Perfect Boiled Rice: Add a splash of vinegar or 1 teaspoon of oil to the boiling water while cooking the rice. This keeps the grains separate and fluffy instead of sticky.

Layering & Presentation: When serving, lay down a base of plain or lightly spiced boiled rice, top it with the colourful vegetables, and place the juicy tikka boti right in the center. This combination looks stunning and appetizing!
