About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
- 2 tbsp coriander leaves
- 1 tbsp Kashmiri red chili powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp pepper powder
- 1/2 tsp Garam masala
- 1/4 tsp chaat masala
- 0.68 tbsp lime juice
- 1/2 tbsp ghee
- 8 4/5 oz chicken breast
Mint Yogurt Sauce
- 1 piece roasted tomato
- 1 piece roasted onion
- 4 piece peeled garlic cloves
- half a handful fresh mint
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp yogurt
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, ginger‑garlic paste, chopped coriander leaves, Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric, pepper powder, garam masala, chaat masala, salt, lime juice, and melted ghee; whisk until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- 2Add the cubed chicken breast to the bowl and toss to coat each piece evenly with the masala mixture; let the chicken marinate for 20 minutes. If you are short on time, you may proceed directly to cooking.
- 3Preheat the air fryer to 374°F (375°F). Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer in the air‑fryer basket. Add one whole tomato, one whole onion, and four peeled garlic cloves to the basket as well.
- 4Air‑fry the chicken and vegetables for 25 minutes, turning the chicken pieces over halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
- 5While the chicken finishes cooking, transfer the roasted tomato, roasted onion, and roasted garlic cloves to a blender. Add half a handful of fresh mint leaves, ¼ tsp salt, and 1 tbsp yogurt.
- 6Blend the sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy; taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- 7Remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
- 8Plate the tandoori chicken and drizzle or serve alongside the mint‑yogurt sauce. Garnish with extra coriander leaves if desired.
- 9Enjoy the smoky, tangy chicken with the refreshing mint yogurt sauce.
