02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together yogurt, oil, salt, turmeric, chili powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, chili sauce, and vinegar.

02

Step 2

Add the chicken to the bowl and give it a good mix to coat it well. Heat a pan over medium-low heat, add the marinated chicken, and cook until it’s done. Cover the pan and let it cook for another 5 minutes.

03

Step 3

Keep cooking until the chicken is nice and tender, then turn off the heat and set it aside.

Step 4

For the white sauce, heat some oil in a pan and sauté the chopped garlic for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook it for about 3-4 minutes to get rid of the raw taste.

05

Step 5

Slowly add the milk while stirring, and cook until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper, then mix well.

Step 6

Now, assemble everything: spread the cooked chicken in a pan, pour the white sauce over it, and sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese on top. Add some chili flakes and oregano, and finish with fresh coriander leaves.

Step 7

Cover the pan and cook on low heat for about 3 minutes until the cheese melts. Turn off the heat.
