CHICKEN GREEN GHEE ROAST


This is my sons most favourite  dish and is the best dish to savour during the weekends .  

This can be enjoyed as an appetizer or as a side dish with rice, chapathi, dosa and also  with fried rice & noodles. 

The lush green mint leaves in my kitchen garden  inspire me to try out new recipes .

The awesome aroma of  fresh mint with ghee gives this dish a  unique taste & flavour.  

I have used only two tablespoon ghee for the recipe as chicken releases its own fat while cooking.  Dish tastes better with extra ghee. You can use  ghee as per your choice. 

Here is a very simple, easy recipe which i am sure will be loved by all. 

RECIPE:

INGREDIENTS:


(Kindly add ingredients as per your spice requirements)
1/2 kg  chicken ( with bone)
2 tbsp ghee

(A)

  • 1" ginger
  • 8-10 garlic cloves
  • 4-6 green chillies
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 cup mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup coriander leaves
  • 1/2 cup hung curds

(B)

  • 1tsp garam masala powder
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Salt to taste

METHOD:


Wash & clean chicken pieces. Drain water & keep it aside. 

Grind all the ingredients under (A) to fine paste. 

Add this ground paste to chicken. 

Add the ingredients under (B) to the chicken. 

Mix well & marinate for minimum 1 hour. Overnight is better. 

Heat ghee in a cooking pan. I have used only 2 tbsp ghee. You can use as per your choice.  Tastes much better with extra ghee. 

Add marinated chicken, cover & cook on a high flame for 2 minutes. 

Chicken releases its own fat & stock.
Reduce the flame & cook on a medium flame for another 5-6 minutes. 

Uncover & cook on a  high flame for another 5 minutes or till all the masala coats well for the chicken pieces. 

Delicious chicken green ghee roast is ready. 

Serve hot.

Goes well with panpole too. 
Enjoy with your loves ones.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy seeds 3 cashewnuts ( optional
