Mangalorean Chicken Ghee Roast Recipe
You need Chicken for this dish. You need to marinate with curd , turmeric powder and red chili powder for at least an hour.Curd slowly tenderises the meat.
The very important step in making Chicken Ghee Roast is to fry the whole spices in Ghee.You have to slow roast the whole spices .
Clarified butter or Ghee brings the essence to this Mangalorean Chicken Ghee Roast Recipe.
Then make a fresh ground masala out of that. The spices are very similar to Chettinad cuisine.
I have added Tamarind pulp to the dish. To balance the sourness, one tablespoon of jaggery is added.You can not skip this part.
Sunday lunch was satisfying. I have prepared some jowar-roti with Chicken Ghee Roast for lunch. At the end a glass of buttermilk.Serving on banana leaf is another way of enjoying a traditional meal.I just love to do that.
