Method
In a bowl, mix the mustard oil and Kashmiri chilli powder. Add all the other ingredients for the marination except curd
Add the chicken and mix. Add the curd, mix and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan. Add the chicken and cook on medium heat until cooked through around 7-9 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the pan and into a metal phulka grill, or a metal strainer used for deep-frying. Show the chicken over direct flame for around 2 minutes, flipping occasionally. This step is for the colour and smoky flavour.
Add the chicken into a bowl. Add melted butter, chaat masala and coriander leaves. Toss it and serve with mint chutney, onion and lemon wedges.
