The very simple chicken roast :D

If your'e not in a mood to engulf large amounts of oil in fried chicken, this one is a must try:D


Okay the ingredients you would need for this recipe is:

Chicken 1/2 kg cut in medium sized pieces

half a pack of Chicken roast masala available in the market of different brands(do read out the quantity of meat it could marinate before you ruin your dish:P)

vinegar 3-4 Tablespoons

Lemon juice 1 tablespoon

yogurt 1/2 kg ( use it for marination plus mint chutni)

cooking oil 2 tablespoon

salt to taste (if the prepared masala doesn't have salt to your taste, although it won't be required)

FOR MINT CHUTNI:

1 green chili

few leaves of mint

Salt to taste

black pepper a pinch of it

PROCEDURE:

• Take the chicken pieces and poke it with a fork so that the masala penetrates into it well.
• Put the chicken pieces in bowl and add to it 2/3rd of the yogurt. Mix it well.
• Now to this add the roast masala packet.
• Pour in the vinegar, lemon juice and oil..Mix all the ingredients well and marinate the chicken for at 2 hours.
• Preheat your oven at 200 C, 30-45 minutes before placing your chicken into it.
• Grease the dish with cooking oil and and place the chicken pieces on it. Carefully pour the left over material to the chicken pieces so that it is completely covered.
• Cook the chicken in oven for 45minutes to 1 hour. Keep rotating the sides of the pieces so it gets cooked from both the sides well.
• Use a knife to check whether chicken is cooked properly or not.

Now the chutni:

Blend the yogurt with mint leaves and green chilies. Add salt and black pepper.

Serve the chicken with the chutni!

My chicken roast was not properly garnished due to the aftari rush:(

The Ramazan cooking:)

Yesterday I planned to have some experimental fun with the Aftar Menu because I was so bored of the same Fruit Chaat and Dahi bhalaz daily:P
Trying your own innovative ideas with same old ingredients is really fun! You don't have to follow some one's recipe like dumb counting every grain of spice to make sure the meal doesn't gets ruined! 
The food was spaghetti with chicken meat balls and vegetables and Chicken roast! 

The Recipe was very easy and is as follows:D

ketchup 1 tablespoon
soy sauce 1 teaspoon
dried round red pepper 2-3 pcs
