Hello guys!
Today, I am sharing one of my go-to boneless chicken recipes. Something that I prepare when I am in no mood for cooking elaborate meals.
The reason I totally love this dish is firstly this murgh tawa fry comes together in minutes. Secondly the meat is absolutely juicy when done cooking. Coated in that delicious spicy masala and frying it in coconut oil really makes it so irresistible.
Chicken tawa fry makes a fantastic appetizer to entertain your guests, as you don’t have to slog in the kitchen for ages. Minutes is all you need to make this. This tempting pan fried chicken is a huge hit with my family and my friends.
I have used the juiciest part of chicken that is boneless chicken thighs in this recipe. It really does make a difference. I know chicken thighs are fattier than chicken breasts but all that fat adds to the moisture and flavour that breasts lack. But if you are a health freak, you can make this with chicken breast too.
