Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Marinate the Chicken

   Add chicken cubes (500g), tomato paste (2 tbsp), yogurt (1/2 cup), lemon juice (1 tbsp), paprika powder (1 tsp), cumin powder (1 tsp), oregano (1/2 tsp), black pepper (1 tsp), garlic powder (1 tsp), and salt (1 tsp) to a bowl. Mix well until all chicken pieces are coated. Marinate for 30 minutes.

2. 2.Cook the Chicken

   Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add the marinated chicken to the pan. Mix and cook on medium flame for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken starts to brown and release its juices.

3. 3.Simmer Chicken

   Cover the pan with a lid and cook the chicken for 20 minutes on medium-low heat until it is tender. Once cooked, turn off the flame and keep the chicken aside in the pan.

4. 4.Prepare White Sauce Base

   In a separate small pot, heat 2 tbsp of oil. Add 1 tbsp of all-purpose flour and stir continuously with a spatula for 2-3 minutes until it forms a smooth, light paste.

5. 5.Make White Sauce

   Gradually add 1+1/2 cups of milk to the flour mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce starts to thicken slightly.

   Add 1/2 cup cream, 1 cheese slice, 1/2 tsp red chili flakes, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp oregano, and 1 tbsp fresh coriander leaves to the sauce. Whisk until the cheese slice has melted and the sauce is smooth and slightly thick.

7. 7.Assemble the Dish

   Pour the prepared white sauce evenly over the cooked chicken in the pan.

8. 8.Add Toppings

   Evenly sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the white sauce. Then, sprinkle additional red chili flakes and fresh coriander leaves for garnish.

9. 9.Melt the Cheese

   Cover the pan and cook on a low flame for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese melts completely and becomes bubbly.

    Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove from heat. Serve hot and enjoy your cheesy chicken delight!
