Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ginger-garlic paste, lemon juice, mustard oil, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is well-coated with the marinade.
2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
3. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
4. Once grilled, remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Shred the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces.
5. In a clean mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped green chilies, chopped onion, and chopped cilantro. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
6. Serve the Chicken Choila warm alongside soaked beaten rice (chiura) and lime wedges for an added burst of freshness.
7. Enjoy your meal with family and friends, and don't hesitate to add extra green chilies if you like it spicier!
