Directions
To make Yogurt and Mayonnaise Sauce
To a bowl add equal amount of yogurt and mayonnaise, I have taken 3 tablespoons each. Along with 1 tbsp. of garlic powder.
Mix it all up and our sauce is ready.
Marinating and pan frying Chicken
I am going to pan fry the chicken on the stove but you could also cook them in the oven or air fryer if you’d like
Cut the chicken into little bite sized pieces and then transfer it to a bowl
Now add 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsps. vinegar, ½ tsp turmeric powder, 2 tbsps. ginger and garlic paste, 2 tbsps. Yogurt, 2 tsp paprika/red chili powder, 2 tsp garam masala powder, finely chopped 2 tbsps. coriander leaves and 2 green chilies, toss it to coat and set it aside for 30 minutes.
Pan fry the marinated chicken in a large pan on high heat and cook this until golden brown, it takes about 8-10 minutes. Repeat the same with rest of the chicken.
Now when the chicken is golden and finished frying we can remove from the heat and set it aside.
To Serve it
Spread a tbsp of yogurt and mayonnaise sauce on the wrap, top it with finely chopped romaine lettuce, pickled cucumber, tomatoes, pickled jalapenos and then place the chicken. Then drizzle with yogurt and mayonnaise sauce followed by siracha sauce and classic yellow mustard over the top. Wrap with parchment to hold it together and enjoy!
Note:
Before marinating the chicken, I have cleaned the chicken squeezed out as much liquid as possible so that the chicken can absorb more of the marinade.
A little tip about pan frying chicken, just add enough chicken on the pan try not to overcrowd the pan as they lower the temperature and release lot of water, which prevents the chicken from browning.
!!!The more food added to the pan the lower the temperature falls so do not crowd your pan!!!
