Mummy’s Special Chicken Roast Recipe Chicken roast is a dish that my mom used to make when I was in college and I used to love it! Tried to replicate the taste and almost succeeded. What I Used: Chicken, cleaned and cut into small pieces – 1 kgOnions – 5 medium, cut into small square piecesTomatoes – 2Capsicum – 1 smallGreen chillies – 5Jeera powder – 3 tspTurmeric – 1/2 tspCoriander powder – 4 tspGinger garlic paste – 1.5 tbspChilly powder – 2tspCurry leaves – 3 strandsOil – to frySalt – to taste How I Made It:
- Crackle mustard seeds in the heated oil and add the onions. Saute till golden brown.
- Then add the ginger garlic paste, turmeric-jeera-coriander-chilly powders, curry leaves, chillies and fry for 2-3 mins, till the raw smells have gone.
- Next, add the tomatoes and capsicum pieces. Stir for another minute and add the chicken pieces.
- Close the pan and wait till the chicken has cooked. Note that no water should be added at any stage. Once closed, the chicken will release water and will cook in that itself.
- Once the pieces have cooked, open the lid and keep on fire till all the water has gone and the oil starts clearing. Enjoy hot! Tip: This dish is on the spicier side and sometimes when it seems a little too much so, amma adds a pinch of sugar. I follow the same method. In fact, I add a pinch of sugar to almost all the curries I make, that involve a masala paste. We also made semiya payasam and of course a cake! Pin
