For the Chicken Boti:

500 grams boneless chicken, cut into small cubes

2 tablespoons yogurt

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste

1 teaspoon red chili powder

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon garam masala

1 teaspoon cumin powder

Salt to taste

2 tablespoons oil

For the Paratha:

2 cups whole wheat flour

Water, as needed

Salt to taste

Oil or ghee for frying

For Assembling the Roll:

Sliced onions

Sliced tomatoes

Chopped green chilies

Chopped fresh coriander leaves

Mint chutney

Tamarind chutney

Lemon wedges

Instructions:

Marinate the Chicken Boti:

In a bowl, mix together yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, salt, and oil.

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and mix well, ensuring each piece is coated evenly.

Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably, refrigerate it for a few hours to allow the flavors to develop.

Prepare the Paratha Dough:

In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.

Gradually add water and knead the mixture to form a smooth and pliable dough.

Divide the dough into equal-sized balls and roll each ball into a flat disc using a rolling pin, dusting with flour if needed.

Heat a griddle or tawa over medium heat and cook each paratha until golden brown spots appear on both sides, brushing with oil or ghee as needed. Set aside.

Cook the Chicken Boti:

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers or simply place them on the grill pan.

Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is cooked through and has charred edges.

Remove the chicken from the grill and set aside.

Assemble the Rolls:

Take a paratha and spread a layer of mint chutney and tamarind chutney on one side.

Place a few pieces of cooked chicken boti in the center of the paratha.

Top the chicken with sliced onions, tomatoes, chopped green chilies, and fresh coriander leaves.

Squeeze some lemon juice over the filling.

Roll the paratha tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a roll.

Repeat the process with the remaining parathas and filling.

Serve and Enjoy:

Serve the chicken boti paratha rolls immediately, accompanied by extra mint and tamarind chutney, and lemon wedges on the side.

Enjoy these delicious rolls as a snack, appetizer, or even a light meal.
