    That’s one incredible looking dish, isn’t it? The recipe is taken from Lakshmi Nair’s cooking show- Magic Oven. It is a little time consuming as you got to marinate and fry the chicken in batches.

    Chicken Roast

    The gravy is made and then the fried pieces are added to it.

      Shalzz, this looks delicious. Though it is a little longer to make, I am sure that it is worth the effort.

      Let me begin with a confession: Ever since this A to Z challenge started and you started posting these super-tempting Chicken recipes, I have been cooking Chicken at every opportunity at home. Today I've made it for dinner too and just yesterday Pari was asking me about what has happened to me (though she doesn't mind my doing so).
      You're rocking good with your Chicken series <3

      As far this recipe, though I love it, somehow my family doesn't like the idea of Curry Leaves in a chicken recipe, but things might change soon 😉

      I had one query Shalini. Any idea what is the perfect time for chicken marination for any chicken recipe? Mostly it is kept for an hour minimum. But I have read it can be kept for 7-8 hours too. Just wanted your opinion

        Marination time for each recipe varies. But yes, you can marinate for a good 7-8 hours also, provided it is refrigerated. 🙂

          Yes refrigeration only. Had tried it twice.

          Thanks

      I'll definitely try it. 🙂 Rather, the chef of the house will. He might already know the recipe. 😀
