Ingredient
 

• 1 kilogram chopped chicken
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 6 tablespoon ghee
• 2 tablespoon red chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon fenugreek leaves ( methi)
• 1 1/2 tablespoon tamarind paste
• salt as required

• 1/2 cup yogurt (curd)
• handful curry leaves
• 2 tablespoon jaggery
• 8 roasted dry red chili
• 6 peppercorns
• 1 1/4 tablespoon coriander seeds
• handful garlic flakes
• 3 clove

           Method

• Step 1 Marinate the chicken pieces

  In a bowl, add chicken, 1 tbsp red chili powder, curd, turmeric powder, salt, and lemon juice. Coat the chicken pieces well with the mixture. Keep it aside for at least 30-45 mins.

• Step 2 Prepare the red chili paste

  Heat ghee in a pan and then add fenugreek seeds, coriander seeds, cloves, cumin seeds, and peppercorns. Roast them on low flame for 3-4 mins. Now, grind dry the roasted red chilies and spices along with tamarind paste, red chili powder, and garlic flakes to make a paste.

• Step 3 Cook the chicken pieces

  In a kadhai, add 2 and a 1/2 tbsp of ghee. Add the marinated chicken pieces and the leftover marinade to the kadhai. Cook the chicken till they are 3/4th cooked. Now, keep the chicken pieces aside and add the remaining ghee in the same kadhai. Saute the ground paste for 7-8 mins on low flame. Check if the ghee has started to separate.

• Step 4 Combine the masala and chicken pieces

  Now, add the chicken pieces and jaggery to the kadhai. Add 2 tbsps of water along with salt to taste. Make sure you don't add much water because it's a roasted chicken recipe. Cover the lid and cook for 10 mins on low flame. Once done, remove the lid and cook for 2 more minutes. Check if the chicken has cooked completely or not. Once done, turn off the flame.

• Step 5 Your Ghee Roast Chicken is ready

  Garnish the chicken with curry leaves. Your Ghee roast chicken is ready to be served.

Tips

1. Ideally, ghee roast chicken is a dry recipe but if you don't like eating dry dishes, you can add roasted chicken pieces to a gravy.
2. The spices should be well roasted so that the red chili paste is thick and flavordful.
