Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground chicken
- 1 small yellow onion finely minced
- ½ small bunch cilantro finely minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
- ½ teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- ¼ teaspoon kala namak (black salt)
- ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 10 rotis / chapatis cooked
- neutral oil spray
For the Toppings
- 1 English cucumber diced
- 1 roma tomato diced
- ¼ cup pickled onions
- 1 batch Cucumber Mint Raita
- 1 batch Cilantro-Mint Chutney
Instructions
- Finely mince the yellow onion and cilantro in a food processor. Remove any excess liquid by pressing down on the mixture with a rubber spatula and spilling out the liquid.
- Transfer the minced onion and cilantro in a bowl with the ground chicken along with the ginger garlic paste, Kashmiri chili powder, ground cumin, garam masala, kala namak, ground turmeric, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix together the meat mixture super well.
- Thinly spread two tablespoons of the meat mixture on to one side of a roti all the way to the edges using a rubber spatula or clean hands.
- Spray a neutral oil in a cast iron pan that's on low to medium heat. Once hot, splace the roti in the pan meat side down. Press the roti down with a spatula to ensure an even cook. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the roti from the pan and flip it into a plate, meat side up. Repeat the process with the rest of the rotis.
- Top the tacos with the toppings, raita, and chutney. Fold and enjoy warm!
Notes
- Top the tacos with anything you'd like - diced cucumbers, tomatoes, guacamole, carrots, or red onions.
