Instructions
 

  • Boil the arbi until tender. This will take about 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of the arbi. You'll know it's done when a fork easily pierces the center.

  • Once the arbi has cooled slightly, peel off the skin. The skin should come off easily when cooked properly.
  • Mash the peeled arbi thoroughly in a large bowl. Ensure there are no large lumps for a smooth tikki texture.
  • Add the roasted gram flour, garam masala, and salt to the mashed arbi.

  • Add the green chutney to the arbi mixture. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
  • Adjust the spices to your liking. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the chicken. This will ensure the chicken cooks evenly and develops a nice crust.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chicken and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
