Tawa Chicken Recipe

Tawa Chicken is a dry chicken recipe, generally cooked on roadside dhabas on big tawa (griddle). It’s really good for people who love spicy flavors and is easy to make. This dish goes well with naan bread. Tawa Chicken is a restaurant specialty in Lahore city. After eating it I often thought to make it at home and finally now I tried and got it very similar to that actual taste. It has a little spicy taste due to use of green chilies. My whole family also like it. This dish goes well with hot naan, paratha or rotis.
