Ingredients

• 500 grams Boneless chicken breast
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons Plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 4 pieces Large sandwich rolls
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 2 pieces Tomatoes (sliced)
• 1 piece Cucumber (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 teaspoon Chaat masala

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips or small cubes for easier cooking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing minced garlic, ginger paste, lemon juice, plain yogurt, red chili powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or for better results, marinate for 2 hours.

Step 4

Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

Slice each sandwich roll in half and lightly toast them in a dry pan or toaster oven until golden and crisp.

Step 6

Spread a layer of mayonnaise and ketchup on the inside of each sandwich roll.

Step 7

Layer one lettuce leaf, a few slices of tomato, and cucumber on the bottom half of each roll.

Step 8

Spoon the cooked chicken onto the vegetables, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle chaat masala over the chicken for an added tangy flavor.

Step 10

Place the top half of the roll on the sandwich and press gently to hold it together.

Step 11

Serve immediately while warm, or wrap in parchment paper for easy handling during Iftar.
