Tried Creamy Iffa Chicken today using bone-in chicken thighs in my cast iron skillet. The sauce is quite light—it coats the chicken rather than becoming a full gravy. Definitely one I'll make again.
Ingredients
For the chicken marinade:
125g Greek yogurt
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder
¼ tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp coriander powder
½ tsp black pepper powder
½ tsp garam masala
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vinegar
500g boneless, skinless chicken thighs
For the creamy sauce:
2 boiled egg whites
2 garlic cloves
1 slice cheese (about 25g)
1 tsp vinegar
80ml milk
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp sugar
Method
- Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl.
- Add the chicken and coat well. Let it marinate while you prepare the sauce.
- Blend together the egg whites, garlic, cheese, vinegar, milk, salt, and sugar until smooth.
- Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side.
- Continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the marinade has thickened.
- Lower the heat and pour the creamy sauce over the chicken.
- Cover and cook for about 3 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve.
