For this recipe I have been inspired from this Kerala style recipe, from NDTV Cooks.
I played a bit with ingredients, added fresh coconut, gave up at tomatoes, and changed the cooking directions. It came out very good. I hope you try it and let me know if you liked it!
We had it for dinner, with spicy sauteed okra and green peppers.
Step by Step Chicken Roast with Coconut Recipe
In a big bowl mix ginger garlic paste with coriander powder, salt, pinch turmeric powder, pepper powder and red chilli powder. Make a paste and add chicken. Mix everything together and let the chicken marinate for 30 minutes.
In a nonstick pan heat oil, then add cumin seeds. When they start to crackle, add chopped shallots, curry leaves and chopped green chilli. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes on medium flame, then add coconut grated and let it fry for another 3 minutes.
Note: Fresh curry leaves are not easily available in Western markets, you can find them at your local Indian market or you can buy online on amazon
Add marinated chicken, mix well and let it cook covered until the chicken is cooked. Stir from time to time. Cook until the chicken is getting crispy and light brown in color. Add garam masala, stir fry for 2 minutes.
