Whether you’re planning a family BBQ, Eid gathering, or weekend dinner, homemade Malai Boti is always a crowd favorite.
The secret to restaurant-style Malai Boti lies in using fresh ingredients, the right marination technique, and a high-quality spice blend. In this guide, we’ll show you how to make delicious Malai Boti at home with simple ingredients and easy steps.
Ingredients
To make approximately 4 servings, you’ll need:
- 500g boneless chicken (cut into cubes)
- ½ cup fresh yogurt
- ¼ cup fresh cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Agha Spices Malai Boti Masala
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, cream, mayonnaise, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, black pepper, salt, butter, cooking oil, and Agha Spices Malai Boti Masala.
Mix everything until you get a smooth, creamy marinade. This combination helps create the rich flavor and soft texture that Malai Boti is famous for.
Step 2: Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and coat each piece thoroughly.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. For the best flavor and tenderness, marinate the chicken overnight. The longer the chicken rests in the marinade, the more flavorful and juicy it becomes.
Step 3: Grill the Chicken
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers.
Grill over medium-high heat for 12–15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. Brush the chicken with melted butter while grilling to keep it moist and give it a beautiful golden finish.
If you don’t have a BBQ grill, you can cook the chicken in an oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 20–25 minutes, or use an air fryer or grill pan.
Step 4: Serve Hot
Once fully cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve your homemade Malai Boti with:
- Fresh naan or paratha
- Mint yogurt chutney
- Sliced onions
- Lemon wedges
- Fresh salad
This combination creates a complete restaurant-style BBQ meal at home.
Tips for the Best Malai Boti
- Always use fresh boneless chicken for the juiciest results.
- Marinate the chicken overnight whenever possible.
- Avoid overcooking, as it can make the chicken dry.
- Use fresh cream instead of cooking cream for a richer taste.
- Brush butter on the chicken while grilling to lock in moisture.
- Cook over medium heat for even grilling.
