Ingredients
  

  • For the Chicken Tikka:
  • 500 g (1 lb) boneless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized strips
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt or thick curd
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • For the Mint Yogurt Sauce:
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro (coriander) leaves
  • 1 small green chili (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • ½ tsp roasted cumin powder
  • For Assembly:
  • 4 large wraps, tortillas, or whole-wheat rotis
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
  • Extra mint yogurt sauce, for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Marinate the Chicken : In a bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, and all the spices. Add chicken pieces and coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).
  • Step 2: Cook the Chicken Tikka : Option 1 – Grill: Preheat grill or grill pan. Brush with oil and cook chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until charred and cooked through. Option 2 – Oven: Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Place chicken on a lined baking tray and bake for 15–18 minutes, turning halfway. Option 3 – Pan-Fry: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in batches for 6–8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until browned and done.
  • Step 3: Make the Mint Yogurt Sauce : Blend mint, cilantro, green chili, lemon juice, and salt into a paste. Stir the paste into yogurt and mix in roasted cumin powder. Taste and adjust seasoning. Keep chilled until use.
  • Step 4: Assemble the Wraps : Warm each wrap or roti slightly. Spread 1–2 tablespoons of mint yogurt sauce on it. Layer lettuce, tomato, onion, and cooked chicken tikka. Drizzle more mint yogurt sauce on top. Roll the wrap tightly, tucking in the sides. (Optional: grill the rolled wrap for 1–2 minutes per side for extra crispness.)
