Malai Murg Tikka
Malai Murg Tikka is a rich, creamy, and mildly spiced North Indian chicken delicacy, known for its tender texture and luxurious flavor. "Malai" means cream, and "Murg" means chicken — together creating a melt-in-the-mouth experience.
Boneless chicken pieces are marinated in a luscious mixture of fresh cream, hung curd (thick yogurt), cheese, ginger-garlic paste, white pepper, cardamom powder, and a touch of lemon juice. The marinade is mild yet aromatic, allowing the natural taste of the chicken to shine through, enhanced by the creamy richness.
After marination, the chicken is skewered and grilled or cooked in a tandoor until golden and slightly charred, locking in the juicy tenderness. It is typically served hot with mint chutney, lemon wedges, and onion rings.
Malai Murg Tikka is a great choice for those who prefer subtle spices and creamy textures over fiery heat, making it a standout item in tandoori platters or as a royal appetizer.
