Afghani Chaap Recipe

Step 1: Start by air frying at 400°F for 15 minutes or deep frying those chaap pieces until they're golden brown. Cut the fried chaap into 3-4 pieces diagonally and set them aside.

Sep 2: Take a grinder and toss in some ginger, garlic, and green chillis. Grind them up into a smooth paste. In a mixing bowl, combine this paste with curd, cream, oil, spices, and seasonings to create a flavorful marinade.

Step 3: Mix the fried soya chaap pieces into the marinade, ensuring they're well coated. Let them chill in the fridge for about 2 hours to soak up all those delicious flavors.

Step 4: Heat a pan, add the marinated chaap, and cook until the excess moisture evaporates. Finish off by adding a dollop of butter or ghee for that extra richness.

Step 5: Skewer the chaap and cook it over direct flame for that charred goodness. Transfer it to a bowl, add onions, cream, butter, lemon juice, and a sprinkle of chaat masala. Mix it all up, and your mouth-watering Afghani Chaap is ready to be enjoyed with some green chutney and sliced onions.
