Chicken is marinated in Goan Recheado masala and cooked upto perfection.Homemade naans are then wrapped with it and served.

I have been so lazy for past few weeks. February is my month and I get pampered every year this time. It’s valentine month , plus my birthday.

Last week for my birthday, we went to this Indian restaurant and while enjoying our lovely Indian grub, something clicked my mind. I am a seafood lover and specially Recheado bangdo(Goan stuffed mackerels) is one of my favorites. While eating naan with chicken gravy , I thought, why not prepare something fusion this time. Goan masala fused with North Indian naan and thus came up with this crazy idea of Recheado Chicken Naan Wraps.

For those who don’t know what Recheado means , it is a very spicy paste prepared out of red chilies, whole spices, ginger and garlic. Normally, we use this paste to stuff mackerels and then shallow fry them. Though we get readymade recheado paste in Indian grocery stores, I love to prepare it at home.

Coming back to my topic of fusion recipe, so after coming home, quickly made some naan and since had my recheado masala ready in refrigerator my job got all the more easy . No need to say, this super easy dish is a new hit in my family now , so thought to prepare it this morning for my son’s lunch. Try out some healthy variations like adding up some lettuce or baby spinach. Perfect for lunch, dinner or even breakfast.
