Andhra Style Chicken Ghee Roast

Andhra Style Chicken Ghee Roast is a delicious starter that you can make for a weekend meal or as a starter for your parties.

We balance the spice by adding ghee. Finally, the roasted cashew nuts make this very delicious to serve as a dry starter for your parties. Amma normally makes it for the weekend special lunch.

This dry Andhra Style Chicken Ghee Roast is part of the Sunday lunch as a side for Biryani and gravy. Kids normally eat it as such, while the elders prefer it with the meal. I have plated it as part of the thali anyways.

While there are many versions of dry chicken roasts, I still have so many versions of Amma's special dishes yet to be covered.

This sinful dry saute is part of BM#108, Week 4, where I am doing dishes from a state. Check out the Chettinad Style Kozhi Varuval if you want more Chicken fries.
