By this time ,you must be knowing that I am from Konkan Coast,part of western Costaline of India.
Coastal cuisine usually uses coconut liberally in various forms. But this special cuisine from coastal doesnot use coconut.Roasting the chicken in ghee along with ground Indian spices makes this delicious dish.




This Dish has originated from coastal city named Kundapur(near Mangalore), Karnataka. This dish is very popular among all coastal cities.This is very easy to make. Ghee is star ingredient of the dish. You must have already guessed that by the name of dish.It is very quick to prepare too.



Now this has become popular in all cities.I Have seen this in menus of restaurants in Bangalore too.
It should be there in your menu too. Surprise your family and friends by this super yummy chicken ghee roast.
Relish this finger licking chicken with neer dosa or akki rotti or hot steamed rice.
Are you ready to roast ??
