Start by welcoming viewers and introducing the recipe for restaurant-style Tawa Chicken.

Add 1 cup of yogurt to a bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste to the yogurt.

Add 1 tablespoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, and 1 teaspoon of cumin powder to the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and salt to taste; mix everything well.

Add 750 grams of chicken pieces that have been cut and washed into the mixture, ensuring they are well coated.

Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for 1 to 2 hours to absorb the flavors.

Heat oil in a tawa and add the marinated chicken pieces, leaving the marinade aside.

Cook one side of the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes until it is well browned.

Flip the chicken pieces to cook the other side; cover and cook for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, uncover and check the chicken, flipping it again to ensure even cooking.

Add the reserved marinade to the chicken, mixing in a little water if necessary, and cover to let the chicken cook thoroughly.

Once the chicken is cooked, add chopped green chilies, fresh coriander, and a sprinkle of garam masala.

Cover for a short while to let the flavors meld together.

Garnish with lemon before serving and suggest serving with roti or naan and yogurt chutney.
