How to Use
To use your Tawa Chicken Masala blend, follow these steps:
Marination: Begin by marinating your chicken pieces in a mixture of yogurt, salt, ginger-garlic paste, and a portion of the Tawa Chicken Masala blend. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 1-2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator. This step ensures that the flavors penetrate the meat thoroughly.
Cooking: Heat a tawa (griddle) or a wide, flat-bottomed pan. Add oil and let it heat up. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces. Cook the chicken until it is browned and cooked through. The use of a tawa or flat pan helps in achieving that characteristic sear.
Spice Infusion: Sprinkle the remaining Tawa Chicken Masala blend over the cooking chicken, adjusting the amount according to your spice preference. Toss the chicken to ensure that the spices evenly coat the pieces, infusing them with the rich Lahori flavors. Add slices of green chilies and a slice of lemon to enhance the spices.Top of Form
Finish: Allow the chicken to cook a bit more on the tawa, letting the spices meld into the dish. Ensure the chicken is cooked through, and the masala forms a flavourful coating.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh coriander and mint leaves, serve the Tawa Chicken hot, perhaps with naan or rice on the side. Squeeze a bit of fresh lemon juice before serving for a burst of citrusy freshness.
Adjust the spice levels and ingredients according to your taste preferences. This Tawa Chicken Masala promises to deliver a burst of authentic Lahori street food flavors right in your kitchen.
How to Store
To store your Tawa Chicken Masala blend or any spice mixture, follow these steps to maintain its freshness and flavor:
Air-Tight Container: Transfer the Tawa Chicken Masala blend into an airtight container. This helps to prevent air and moisture from affecting the spices, preserving their flavor.
Cool, Dark Place: Store the container in a cool, dark place such as a pantry or cupboard. Exposure to heat and sunlight can cause spices to lose their potency and flavor.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Keep the spice container away from direct sunlight. UV rays can degrade the quality of the spices over time.
Avoid Heat Sources: Store spices away from heat sources like the stove or oven. The heat can lead to the loss of flavor and aroma.
Check for Freshness: Periodically check the spice blend for freshness. If the aroma diminishes or the color changes significantly, it may be time to refresh the blend or make a new batch.
Avoid Humidity: Ensure that the storage area is not humid, as moisture can lead to clumping and spoilage of the spices.
By following these storage tips, you can extend the shelf life of your Tawa Chicken Masala blend and enjoy its rich flavors over an extended period. Always trust your senses – if the spices lose their aroma or vibrant color, it may be time to prepare a fresh batch.
