Traditional Balochi Tikka Preparation Method
-
Brining: Soak 1 kg bone-in or boneless chicken pieces in salted vinegar-water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
-
Aromatics: Briefly fry whole garlic cloves and green chillies in hot cooking oil until aromatic and slightly blistered; remove and set aside.
-
Sear & Brown: In the same seasoned oil, fry the chicken pieces on high heat until evenly golden-brown.
-
Tenderize: Add a small splash of water, cover tightly with a lid, and simmer on medium-low heat until the meat is thoroughly cooked and tender.
-
Seasoning: Uncover, add freshly crushed ginger, the reserved fried garlic and chillies, and sprinkle the Shan Balochi Tikka Mix evenly over the chicken.
-
Infuse: Cover and let it steam on low flame for 2–3 minutes so the spices coat the chicken thoroughly.
-
Garnish & Serve: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, sprinkle freshly chopped coriander, and serve piping hot alongside fresh naan, salad, and mint raita.
