This is my favorite recipe for Chicken Tikka Paratha Rolls, inspired by the best ones I've eaten in Pakistan (especially Taimoori Roll Paratha, "TRP", in Islam
Chicken Tikka:
Cut the chicken into 1-2" cubes and mix with all ingredients in a bowl thoroughly. Cover and rest for at least 1 hour
Turn your oven on the broiler setting and place the rack in the topmost shelf
Thread the chicken onto 4-5 skewers (if using wooden skewers, first soak them in water so they don't burn). Place the skewers onto a baking dish such that the chicken is suspended in the air
Place the pan in the oven and broil for 7-8 minutes. The skewers should be about ~6" away from the broiler. Flip the skewers to the other side and broil for another 7 minutes until the chicken is nicely charred
Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes. Then remove the chicken from the skewers and roughly chop into bite size pieces (or according to your preference). Toss the chicken in its juices on the chopping board to soak up all the flavor
Yogurt Mayo Sauce:
Mix all the ingredients in a clean bowl to make the yogurt sauce
Green Chutney:
Add the ingredients to a blender and blend until a smooth chutney is formed. You can add more water if needed to bring the chutney to your desired consistency
Assembly:
Cook the parathas on the stove top according to package instructions. They should be light golden and flaky
Working one paratha at a time, first spread a generous layer of the yogurt mayo sauce. Then spread on the chicken tikka boti in a line down the middle of the paratha. Sprinkle over some thinly sliced onion, and drizzle over 1-2 teaspoon each of the green chutney and tamarind chutney. Lastly sprinkle over some chopped cilantro. Carefully roll up the paratha into a tight roll
Right before serving, air fry the paratha rolls at 325F for just 3-4 minutes until they become crispy again
Serve and enjoy!
