Why This Dish Is Amazing
These treats are a healthy and tasty way to reward your furry friend. They use simple ingredients and are easy to make at home. Plus, they are perfect for training or just showing some extra love.
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the chicken with yogurt, tikka masala, pepper, salt, red chili powder, cumin seeds, ginger garlic paste, and red chili sauce. Mix everything well so the chicken is nicely coated.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the cornflour and water until smooth with no lumps.
Step 3
Dip each sliced potato into the cornflour mixture so it’s lightly coated.
Step 4
Place a piece of the marinated chicken in the center of each potato slice, then secure them together with a toothpick to create the “butterfly” shape.
Step 5
Heat some oil in a pan over low heat and carefully fry the chicken butterflies until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Step 6
Drain on paper towels if needed, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
