The Taste of Freshness and Fire
At Mystic India Panama, every plate tells a story of culture, color, and craftsmanship.
Our Chicken Haryali Fillet is one such masterpiece—a vibrant green dish infused with the essence of India’s herb gardens and the fire of the grill.
The word “Haryali” translates to “greenery” in Hindi, symbolizing nature, vitality, and renewal. This dish captures that spirit—tender chicken fillets marinated in a lush blend of mint, coriander, and spices, then flame-grilled to smoky perfection.
The Origins of Haryali Cooking
In India, Haryali cuisine traces its roots to the lush northern regions—Punjab, Himachal, and Uttarakhand—where herbs grow abundantly and freshness defines every meal.
The Haryali marinade was first developed in royal kitchens as a lighter, refreshing alternative to heavier cream-based gravies. Instead of relying on richness, it drew its flavor from nature—fresh green herbs, cooling yogurt, and zesty lime.
This approach perfectly balanced taste and health, creating a dish that was not only flavorful but also deeply nourishing.
At Mystic India Panama, we bring that centuries-old technique to life—blending traditional Indian herbs with modern grilling artistry to create the Chicken Haryali Fillet, a dish that celebrates simplicity, wellness, and bold taste.
Crafting the Chicken Haryali Fillet
Our chefs begin with tender chicken fillets, carefully trimmed and marinated overnight to absorb every note of spice and freshness.
The Haryali marinade is handcrafted from:
- Fresh mint leaves and coriander
- Green chilies and garlic
- Thick yogurt for tenderness
- Lemon juice for brightness
- A touch of cumin and garam masala
Once marinated, the fillets are grilled over open flame until lightly charred outside and juicy inside.
The smoke from the grill mingles with the aroma of mint and coriander, creating a dish that feels both earthy and elegant.
It’s a plate that awakens your senses—the color of nature, the aroma of herbs, and the taste of tradition.
