Chicken Roast (Spicy Pan-Roasted Style)

Ingredients

For Marination
• 750 g chicken thigh pieces (bone-in or boneless), slit and cleaned
• ½ cup thick curd (yogurt)
• 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 1½ tsp red chili powder
• 1 tsp coriander powder
• ½ tsp cumin powder
• 1 tsp garam masala
• ½ tsp black pepper powder
• 1 tbsp Chicken 65 masala
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Salt to taste
• A pinch of red food color (optional)

For Roasting
• 2–3 tbsp oil
• 1 tbsp ghee
• 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
• ½ tsp red chili powder
• ½ tsp coriander powder
• ½ tsp garam masala
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1–2 tbsp Maggi chili sauce
• Water as needed

For Garnish
• Fresh curry leaves
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 1–2 green chilies, chopped
• 1 tbsp ghee

Method

1. Marinate the Chicken
• In a large bowl, combine curd, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, pepper powder, Chicken 65 masala, lemon juice, salt, and optional red food color.
• Mix well to form a thick marinade.
• Add the chicken pieces and coat thoroughly.
• Cover and marinate for at least 20 minutes (longer marination gives better flavor).

2. Prepare the Masala Base
• Heat oil and ghee in a wide pan over medium heat.
• Add sliced onions and sauté until slightly golden brown.
• Add chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Stir briefly on low heat to avoid burning.
• Add tomato paste and Maggi chili sauce. Mix well.
• Add a small splash of water to create a very slight gravy consistency.

3. Cook the Chicken
• Add the marinated chicken along with any leftover marinade into the pan.
• Mix well and cook on medium heat.
• Once the chicken starts releasing oil, add a little water (just enough to help it cook through).
• Cover and cook until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
• Continue cooking uncovered until the water evaporates and the masala thickens, coating the chicken nicely.

4. Final Tempering & Garnish
• Add curry leaves, chopped coriander, and green chilies.
• Pour 1 tablespoon ghee over the top.
• Let it sizzle for 1–2 minutes for enhanced aroma and flavor.
Serve hot with rice, naan, parotta, or as a side dish.
