Chicken Choila (Gluten-Free)
Grilled chicken marinated in traditional Nepali spices, served as a flavorful and slightly spicy lunch. Uses Tamari instead of soy sauce.
Ingredients
- about 680 g Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
- 2 tablespoons Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 2 teaspoons Red Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 2 tablespoons Mustard Oil
- 2 tablespoons Tamari (Gluten-Free)
- 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 medium Red Onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste, 2 teaspoons red chili powder, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 0.5 teaspoon garam masala, 2 tablespoons mustard oil, 2 tablespoons tamari, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- 2Add the about 680 g of boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the bowl with the marinade. Use your hands or a spoon to coat each piece of chicken thoroughly. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- 3Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, which is about 205°C (200°C).
- 4Place the marinated chicken pieces on the preheated grill. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes on each side. The chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside and reaches an internal temperature of 74°C.
- 5While the chicken is grilling, thinly slice the 0.5 medium red onion and chop the 2 tablespoons of cilantro.
- 6Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps keep the chicken juicy.
- 7Arrange the rested chicken on a serving plate. Garnish with the sliced red onion and chopped cilantro. Serve hot.
