Directions

1In a bowl, mix yogurt, flour, and salt until a shaggy dough forms.
2Knead for 5 minutes until smooth, then cover and rest for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3For the chicken tikka filling: Marinate chicken with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, tomato purée, spices, and lemon juice. Let sit for 1 hour if possible.
