Chicken ghee roast is a spicy and tangy Mangalorean delicacy. I never heard of this recipe until one of my subscribers on YouTube asked me to post this recipe. googled for the recipe and got it finally. the taste was outstanding.
I didn’t feel any taste while cooking… but it tasted really amazing few minutes after i switched off the heat .I have used Kashmiri chilies for preparing masala. They weren’t as spicy as the seem. they give a nice color to the recipe…. ghee/clarified butter enhances the taste ……don’t hesitate to use ghee… I agree it is little more than usual…. but it is a must try recipe. the proportions I used are perfect.but you can make adjustments according to your taste. I hope you try and enjoy this beautiful recipe….. 🙂
