    One of my readers asked me if I knew how to make Coondapur style Ghee Roast Chicken. Well I didn't, but then there is no point why I should not try to know what it is, right?. When I did a little research, I came to know that this is chicken roast dish served with Ghee rice in the Kundapur region of Karnataka. I came across this article which says all. This, the author says, is perfect for any wedding feast. Coondapur style Ghee Roast Chicken is one of those dishes too wickedly rich to eat regularly, but too delicious to drop altogether.

    This specialty in chicken is that, it is cooked with the skin. Which is the way I did and the result was just awesome.

    Since this belongs to the Karnataka, I was only too happy to right it out, as I want to send this to our dear Asha.

    Clean chicken and cut into medium size pieces. Finely chop onions.

    Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan and saute the onions and green chillies. Fry till the onions are brown in colour.

    Add the chicken pieces and salt. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or till the chicken pieces are almost done.

    Make a coarse paste of the coconut and add to the chicken along with hot spice mix, red chilli powder and mix well. Cook on high flame for 2 mins and then simmer for another 2 mins till the chicken is fully cooked.

    Mix in the lemon juice, chopped coriander leaves and keep covered with the lid for a minute or two.

    Next add the rice and saute for a few seconds. Pour in the warm water and add the salt. Cover with lid and put it on 2 whistles.

    Everything at home just loved coondapur chicken. Kundapuri Chicken has joined our must- repeat dishes for Sundays.

      Hmm.
      You're the first google result for "chicken ghee roast recipe", congrats!

      I'm a super duper fan of this dish but I'm disappointed that in the photo it doesn't at all look like the dish i've gotten used to in Mangalorean restaurants. I'm going to have to search elsewhere... but thanks for taking the time, and also for the photo!
