Malai Chicken translates to cream chicken and is often seen on the North-Indian restaurant menus. It is basically a dish where chicken is simmered with milk, onion nut paste and spices. Lastly finished with some cream.
Another unique feature of chicken malai tikka is its distinct white color. Usually all other tikkas are either red or yellow; but malai tikkas are always white with little charred blackness on the edges.

Murgh Malai Tikkas to bring in some much needed sunshine! I long for spring and of course a gorgeous bright summer. It’s April and still cold, dreary with a chill in the air. Most days I feel like a hearty one pot steaming bowl of curry and some roti but even in this weather you can’t go amiss with warm creamy tikkas stuffed in fluffy naan with chutney.
Murgh Malai Tikkas are bite size pieces of chicken cooked in a creamy marinade with yoghurt, cheese, ginger, garlic and chilli. There is a balance of flavour from the creamy yoghurt along with the heat of the ground chilli paste and warmth from the garam masala powder. I use a little bit of corn flour to help bind the marinade; I find it clings to the chicken better. The marinating is done in two parts; first in vinegar, garlic and ginger which help tenderise the chicken pieces and then followed by adding the remaining ingredients.
This is an easy recipe and definitely one for a mid week meal. I use boneless chicken thighs as they cook really quick and stay moist. Finished with a pinch of garam masala and chaat masala it is delicious served with a green chutney and some bread.
