Chicken Ghee Roast Recipe

Chicken Ghee roast is a South Indian delicacy and the dish owes its origin to the “Shetty lunch home” in Kundapur, a small locality in Udupi. Perfect and calculated preparation of this non-vegetarian delight can leave you licking your fingers.

Preparation and Cooking Time: 20 minutes ( marination time additional)

Serves : 2

Ingredients:

• Chicken (1/2 kg)
• Red chilly powder (2 tbsp)
• Wholesome coriander seeds (1 tbsp)
• Wholesome fenugreek seeds (1/4 tsp)
• Tamarind extract (1/4 tsp)
• Finely grated ginger (1 tsp)
• Chopped garlic (1 tsp)
• Ghee (1 ½ tbsp)
• Salt (according to the taste preference)

* You can increase or decrease the quantity according to your taste preference. If you want to enjoy the richness then you can further add 1 ½ tbsp Ghee.

Preparation:

Prepare a thick paste by mixing coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds, ginger, garlic, tamarind and chilly powder, ghee, and salt. Remember you must use very little water (just a few drops) so that the paste is thick enough. Baste the chicken pieces with this paste and keep them in refrigerator for 4-5 hours. Take out the chicken once they are marinated and fry them in Ghee at low flame. Cook till the chicken is fully roasted. Garnish the chicken with coriander leaves and serve hot.
