Ingredients
Scale
- 500g boneless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 naan breads
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
- Few lettuce leaves
- 1/2 cup garlic yogurt sauce (yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, garlic, ginger, lemon juice, garam masala, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred. Slice once done.
- Lay naan on a flat surface. On one half, sprinkle mozzarella, then layer chicken slices, red onion, cilantro, lettuce, and drizzle garlic yogurt sauce.
- Fold the naan in half and place it on a hot skillet. Press lightly and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese has melted.
- Remove, slice if desired, drizzle extra sauce, and serve hot.
Notes
- Marinate chicken overnight for maximum flavor.
- Cover the skillet while cooking to help melt the cheese faster.
- Use soft, warm naan to avoid cracking while folding.
