Parsley Parmesan Chicken Tikka
Growing up in Kolkata, chicken cutlet has always been a snack close to heart. While not being able to enjoy it as frequently as I used to, the craving for that spicy tender chatpata snack becomes unbearable at times, and unavailable at Indian restaurants around. Last week on my trip to grocery stop, I was walking down the poultry aisle a pack of ground chicken caught my attention. And that moment, I knew what I was going to make out of it. Traditional chicken tikka with hint of parsley and parmesan cheese...yes...
