    Swasti, I am so glad I tried this. It’s so easy and super delicious.. I’ve got some left over Biryani, cant wait to dive in at eat with the yummy ghee roast. Thank you so much for being so detailed with all your recipes, its really helpful as I am not a very confident cook.
    I had the same too much moisture issue, specially cause I cooked it in an instapot with all the moisture trapped. But did just what you suggested, cooked in a kadai till all the moisture evaporated and then slight roasted it too.
    Thanks again , look forward to trying more of your recipes

    Thank you for clarifying my doubts, Swasthi 🙂 I was covering and cooking the chicken, which was leading to too much water. I’ve checked out the other 2 recipes suggested by you and I intend to try them next. I hope the chicken will remain as tender when I cook it in an open pan! I hope to try out with drumsticks next time 🙂 really appreciate your patience and support.Warm regards

    Hi Swasthi,
    I love you recipes. You are perhaps the rare few Indian food blogger who goes into detail of how to tenderise chicken. In addition to the query on how many cups of onion paste/ leftover curry paste, I also need clarity on cooking method. Do you cover the chicken or cook it open pan? Mine was swimming in water released by the ground onion paste…
    I love the taste of ghee roast chicken. But I think am going wrong somewhere.
    Look forward to hearing from you,
    Regards

      Hi shamni,
      Thanks for the appreciation. The chicken release lot of moisture and then we need to evaporate it too. It almost looks like a gravy curry. For the exact pics, you can also refer this chicken fry. Then you will have to evaporate the gravy on a medium to high flame to make it a roast. But believe me this is one of those best tasting roast. If using chicken with bones, then it tastes even more good since it is cooked for long time, the juices from the bones come to the gravy and then when evaporated they taste damn good. Sorry for the late reply. Hope these help

    Swasthi,
    I love trying out your recipes. But I went a bit wrong here as I used very large onions. It would help to know how many cups of chopped onion are required for this…

      Hi Shamni,
      It needs about 1 heaped cup onions cubed, then crushed. You can also check steps 1 to 6 in this chicken fry biryani recipe. This may help you to fix. This chicken ghee roast and the mentioned biryani are made on same lines. Hope this helps
