Schritt für Schritt

Zubereitung

  1. Marinate the chicken

    • In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the Greek yogurt, Kashmiri chili powder, red chili powder, garam masala, ground coriander, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, lime juice and olive oil.
    • Mix well so every piece is thoroughly coated, then cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
    Schritt 1
  2. Sear the chicken

    • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil.
    • Add the chicken pieces in a single layer, cooking in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan.
    • Sear for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until nicely charred and cooked through, then set aside.
    Schritt 2
  3. Start the makhani sauce

    • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
    • Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
    Schritt 3
  4. Simmer and blend the sauce

    • Pour in the crushed tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes.
    • Blend the onion and tomato mixture until completely smooth, then return it to the pan.
    Schritt 4
  5. Finish the sauce

    • Add the tomato paste, Kashmiri chili powder, garam masala and ground coriander.
    • Stir in the cream and the crushed kasuri methi.
    • Let it simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes until smooth and rich.
    Schritt 5
  6. Coat the chicken in the sauce

    • Add the seared chicken pieces back into the simmering butter chicken sauce, tossing well so every piece is coated.
    • Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
    Schritt 6
  7. Assemble the tacos

    • Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Place a layer of mozzarella on a tortilla, add a spoonful of butter chicken and fold into a half-moon.
    • Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
    Schritt 7
  8. Fry the tacos

    • Fry the tacos in the hot skillet for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the shell is deep golden-brown and crispy.
    • Drain briefly and serve hot.
