Replace the chicken with 400g of crumbled paneer and the eggs with an additional 100g of paneer. Add the paneer at the same stage as the shredded chicken.
Use 500g of mutton keema (mince) instead of chicken. Cook the keema with the onion and tomato masala until it's cooked through before adding the eggs.
Increase the number of green chilies to 3-4 or add 1/2 tsp of a spicier red chili powder along with the Kashmiri variety.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh cream or cashew paste at the end for a richer, creamier texture.

A single serving of Chicken Ghotala (without the pav) contains approximately 480-550 calories, depending on the amount of oil/butter used and the cut of chicken. It's a high-protein, substantial meal.
Chicken Ghotala can be part of a healthy diet. It is an excellent source of protein from chicken and eggs, which is essential for muscle building and repair. However, it does contain butter and oil, so for a healthier version, you can reduce the amount of fat used.
In Hindi and Marathi, 'Ghotala' translates to a 'mishmash,' 'scramble,' or 'jumble.' The name perfectly describes the dish's texture, where shredded chicken, eggs, and masala are all mashed and mixed together.
Absolutely! Using chicken keema is a great shortcut. Simply sauté the keema with the onions and ginger-garlic paste until cooked, then proceed with adding tomatoes and spices. You can skip the initial boiling step.
Store leftover Chicken Ghotala in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it in a pan over low heat, adding a splash of water if it seems too dry. You can also microwave it until heated through.
While pav is the traditional accompaniment, this dish is also delicious with roti, chapati, paratha, or even slices of toasted sourdough bread.
