I konw its little late to post it but better late than never!....anyways today i.e. on 15th February it's my wedding anniversary!! :) So I will share this recipe for all chicken lovers like my family.

This finger licking yumm dish, I tasted some time back in a typical mangalore restaurant,and was so mesmerized by the taste of this dish,that I kept on thinking how its made.
I called up my friend S from mangalore and asked her whether she knows how its made and she shared with me this recipe of ghee roast that they prepare at home.
I modified the recipe to suit the spice tolerance according to my family as her spice level would make me faint!

Please try my recipe and enjoy this dish!
