What is Chicken Tawa Fry?
Chicken tawa fry is a rustic Indian-style chicken preparation where bite-sized pieces of chicken are cooked on a wide, flat tawa along with thick, intensely flavored spices.
Unlike deep-fried chicken, this recipe uses very little oil and relies on the hot tawa to caramelize the onions, cook down the spices and give the chicken beautifully browned edges.
There are many regional and street-style versions of tawa chicken, but this one has my own Flavor Quotient twist!
The combination of mustard oil, fresh ginger-garlic-green chilli paste, pav bhaji masala and tamarind gives this chicken an incredibly flavorful, slightly tangy and wonderfully aromatic makeover.
And honestly, the best part is the final spoonful of ghee! It brings everything together and gives the chicken tawa fry that irresistible finishing touch.
