'Malai' means cream and 'boti' means a piece of chicken. It is the traditional bbq flavour of the asian community. Malai boti is known for its creamy, melt in the mouth texture. Its tender and delicious chicken will make you crave for more.
It is a super easy dish, you can make for your guests at a bbq party or in a frypan when your tummy is roaring for a quick tasty snack. Make them into paratha rolls or just dip them in chutney/ ketchup and endure the tender morsels of this creamy aromatic chicken.
Firstly, blanch the almonds in boiling water. Peel the almonds. In a food processor, blend all the ingredients and the almonds into a smooth paste. Marinate the chicken for atleast 3 hours preferably overnight.
You can shallow fry the chicken in a frypan or bbq on a grill. Eitherway, it tastes wonderful.
Serve hot with ketchup/ chutney or wrap in paratha rolls. Enjoy!
