Chicken roast recipe with a collection of restaurant style dry chicken recipes – Indian dry chicken preparations are also known as fry, sukka, sukha, iguru, vepudu, varuval in different regions. These are basically quick to make, kind of healthy as they need less oil, less masala and are made with basic ingredients. These are best to serve with roti/ chapati or even plain rice along with a bowl of Rasam

how to make chicken roast or chicken dry

1. Add just a tsp of oil to a heavy bottom or non stick pan. Use the right size utensil, do not use a very large pan to make little chicken. Add the dry spices and saute. Spread the oil on the pan.

2. Add chicken, spread the ginger garlic over it, do not drop it on the pan, it may get burnt. This way it absorbs the flavors from ginger garlic.Sprinkle salt evenly.

I have also shared a simple easy roast that needs no grinding, can be served as a starters or accompanied with any flavored rice or plain rice and rasam as well. It can be made with bone-in or boneless chicken. I suggest using tender chickn to yield soft, juicy, flavorful and tender chunks.

To make this, you can use any flavorful garam masala, a good ready made masala works well too. You can just use grated ginger garlic if you do not have paste. No tomatoes are used and i suggest using fresh lemon juice to get the tang. The entire cooking has to be done on the lowest flame or setting to yield juicy and soft bites.

low fat chicken roast recipe-chicken dry

This chicken dry has been prepared with just 2 tsp of oil to make a little over 2 servings. Each serving size (4 oz or 113 grams chicken) consist of less than a 1 tsp of oil with no added fats of any kind. This is one of the best south Indian chicken recipes suitable to folks on a low fat diet, diabetics or gestational diabetics as well.

Using less oil does not alter the taste, but you can add more oil like the way used for other dishes.

Dear Swati, I love your recipes slot and I do follow those to cook delicious food for my family. If I say that that I learnt Indian cooking by seeing your recipes, that’s true. I am a srilankan who knew nothing about Indian cooking. Thank you and continue to do the same. All the best.

Hello Jen,
If you notice my step wise pictures, the chicken looks light as you mentioned. Resting the chicken for a few hours will change the color.
