FAQS
Can I use chicken instead of mutton or beef for Malai Boti?
Yes, you can use chicken instead of mutton or beef. Just adjust the marinating time to about 1-2 hours since chicken cooks faster.
How long should I marinate the meat for the best flavor?
For the best flavor, marinate the meat for at least 4-6 hours in the refrigerator. You can also marinate it overnight for even more depth of flavor.
What can I substitute for raw papaya in the marinade?
If you can't find raw papaya, you can use pineapple or kiwi as a substitute, as they also contain enzymes that help tenderize the meat.
