Assemble the Sandwiches
Serve
Replace the chicken with 400g of paneer cubes or firm tofu. The marination and cooking process remains the same, but reduce cooking time for paneer to avoid it becoming rubbery.
Add a slice of provolone, pepper jack, or Amul cheese on top of the chicken tikka before closing the sandwich for a delicious, cheesy melt.
Use a large tortilla, naan, or roti instead of bread slices. Warm the flatbread, add the fillings, and roll it up tightly to create a Chicken Tikka Wrap.
Add 1-2 finely chopped green chilies to the chicken marinade for an extra kick of heat.
Chicken is a fantastic source of high-quality lean protein, which is crucial for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle mass, and keeping you feeling full and satisfied.
The curd (yogurt) used in the marinade is a natural probiotic. Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria to your digestive system, promoting a healthy gut microbiome and aiding digestion.
Spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander are not just for flavor; they are packed with antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
One Chicken Tikka Sandwich contains approximately 550-650 calories, depending on the type of bread, the amount of mayonnaise and butter used, and whether you use chicken breast or thigh.
It can be a balanced meal. It's an excellent source of protein from the chicken. To make it healthier, use whole-wheat bread, opt for a light mayonnaise or a yogurt-based spread, and load it with extra fresh vegetables.
Absolutely. The cooked chicken tikka can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat it in a pan or microwave before assembling your sandwich.
A sturdy bread with a good crust works best to hold the fillings without falling apart. Sourdough, ciabatta, focaccia, or a thick-cut multigrain loaf are all excellent choices.
This usually happens when regular yogurt is used instead of hung curd. To fix a watery marinade, you can add a tablespoon of roasted gram flour (besan) to thicken it up. For future attempts, make sure to strain your yogurt well.
