Step 1

In a bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Pour in the milk and knead until you get a soft dough. Add the oil and knead again until it’s smooth. Grease the bowl, place the dough inside, brush a little oil on top, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for about an hour until it doubles in size.

Heat some oil in a pan, then add the ginger-garlic paste and onions. Cook for a minute until fragrant. Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, chili flakes, and cumin seeds, then toss everything together. Stir in the chopped capsicum, mix well, and finally add the mayonnaise. Give it a good stir and turn off the heat.
