Chicken Roast (നാടൻ style)

Every time when I think of Sundays, chicken dishes are my first priority. Best option is to have these are with no added flavour. And my intention is to prepare easy and tasty to have dishes. So today I thought of preparing some "നാടൻ"  dish which can be served with semi gravy or even dry. I used to prepare in such a way that, we could have semi gravy type(my hubby is bit fond of gravy items) for lunch with Normal rice or with ghee rice and dried one for dinner which goes with Chappathi, Kerala Porotta, Appam or Nan. 

Ingredients for Chicken Roast (45 min. for preparation)

Chicken - 1 kg

Potato - 2(not mandatory)

Ginger _ medium size sliced

Garlic- 1 chopped (medium size)

Turmeric- 1 tbspn

Red chilli - 2 tblspn

Green chilli- 8-10 according to your taste. If you need dish to be Spicy means add more. 

Coconut oil- 2 table spoon

Coconut-  full portion milk extract.

Coconut - sliced(1/4 of portion for garnishing)

Garam Masala - 1tspn

Pepper balls- 1 tspon slitly crushed.

Coriander powder- 2 tspon (Roasted and grindedNormally I grinde and keep for easy cooking)

Curry leaf, Pudheena and coriander for garnishing.

 Marinating the chicken

Chicken marinated with salt, turmeric and red chilli. Keep it aside for half an hour.

Method:

1. Heat the pan. Add coconut oil.

2. Add all chopped items into the pan. Then add salt to taste.

3.Add marinated chicken into it. Cook for some time.

4. Add garam masala, coriander powder along with Curry leaves, coriander leaves, pudheena leaves.

5. Add semi crushed pepper balls. 

I keep semi crushed as it add more taste. You can get some pepper pieces while having.

6. Once its dried out completely. Add coconut milk.( Squeezed extract from crushed coconut).

7.Cook until its dried and maintain your gravy level.

8. Now take another pan. Slice coconut into small pieces. Saute it in coconut oil. when it turns to gold brown add some dried red chillis.

9. Add this sauted mix over dry roast. I normally add more coconut pieces. It add more taste to chicken. 

10. Add this into our chicken. Chicken Roast is ready. Try and how how it tastes.
