Chicken Malai Boti

The story

Chicken Malai Boti is a popular dish from the cuisine of Pakistan, par ticularly in the Punjab region, where grilling meat over charcoal is a culinary tradition passed down for generations. The name "Malai" comes from the cream used in the marinade, which tenderizes the meat and imparts a rich, smooth flavor, while "Boti" means chunks or pieces, referring to the boneless chicken pieces used in this dish. Often enjoyed at festive occasions and family get-togethers, it is tradi tionally cooked in a tandoor (clay oven) but can also be prepared on a grill or stovetop.
