Bhatti Murg

With our Bhatti Murg, delicious chicken pieces marinated in earthy spices and slow-grilled over an open flame for a smoky, charred outside with juicy, delicate flesh inside, you can transport yourself to the rustic beauty of Punjab’s roadside bhattis. Strong tandoori flavors combine with a touch of yogurt tang and fragrant herbs to create a filling, crunchy, and melt-in-your-mouth texture. This delicious grilled treat suggests cozy get-togethers in our welcoming café setting and is ideal for sharing as an appetizer or enjoying by yourself.

Key Ingredients

• Chicken (bone-in pieces), yogurt, ginger-garlic paste
• Red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder
• Mustard oil, lemon juice, fresh coriander
• Whole spices (cumin seeds, black cardamom, cloves), salt

Quick-Made Recipe

1. Clean chicken pieces and score for better absorption; prepare marinade with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder, lemon juice, mustard oil, and salt—mix thoroughly and coat chicken; refrigerate for 4–6 hours.
2. Preheat grill or tandoor to high heat; thread marinated chicken onto skewers or place directly on grill grates.
3. Grill for 15–20 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with oil or ghee for even char and smokiness.
4. Check doneness (internal temperature 75°C); rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
5. Garnish with chopped coriander and lemon wedges; serve hot with mint chutney or naan.
