Chicken Malai Tikka Boti is a super tender and juicy dish marinated in a creamy sauce. It’s best served with flaky parathas and mint chutney.

I used to think it was difficult to make because of its name, but after trying it at a friend's tea party, I loved it! I've been making it for over 7 years and it's always fantastic.

Known as Malai Boti, the word 'malai' means cream in Urdu, referring to its creamy texture. You can also try it with beef or mutton. You really have to give it a try!
