Chicken tikka masala is traditionally prepared with Tandoor (clay oven fired with wood or charcoal) to char the meat and give the dish a bit of earthy aroma and a smoky under-taste. But, as we can’t get Tandoor worldwide, extracting a similar taste is pretty tough.
We can create similar flavors with Air Fryer, but if you want that traditional charred smokey taste without Tandoor, you can grill the chicken until it’s charred after marinating.
Tortilla wrap can never be boring; it is one of those meals which can never get old. This chicken tikka tortilla wrap is super tasty and easy. Juicy and succulent Air fried marinated chicken pieces with amazing mint mayo spread loaded with crunchy veggies wrapped in a tortilla are healthy, satisfying, and feel-good meals that can lift your mood instantly.
