Mix all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

Add water and yogurt to the dry ingredients and knead into a soft dough.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Marinate chicken thighs with ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, lemon juice, and oil for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the tandoor or grill to high heat.

Divide the dough into equal balls and roll each into a flat circle.

Place the rolled dough on the grill or tandoor until puffed and slightly charred, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove the bread and brush with butter immediately after cooking.

Grill the marinated chicken until fully cooked and charred, about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.

Serve the tandoori bread hot with chicken chaap and garnish with fresh coriander.
