Instructions

Marinate the chicken by mixing yogurt, tandoori masala, lemon juice, salt, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl. Coat the chicken thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and charred. Let rest before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Mix softened butter with minced garlic and chopped cilantro in a bowl. Spread this mixture on cut sides of the bread.
Bake the buttered bread cut side up for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
Top each piece with sliced tandoori chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake again for another 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted.
Serve warm with optional red chili flakes sprinkled on top.
