Step-by-Step Method to Make Chicken Ghee Roast:
Step 1: Prepare the chicken
- Mix the chicken with turmeric, salt and curd (if added) and marinate for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Roast the masala
- Dry roast the whole spices (coriander, red chili, cumin, fennel, fenugreek, black pepper) on a pan for 2–3 minutes till they release their aroma.
- Add garlic and tamarind and fry for 1 more minute.
Step 3: Grind the masala
- Cool the roasted masala and make a smooth paste in a mixer with some water and jaggery.
Step 4: Cook the chicken
- Add 1 tbsp ghee in the pan and cover the chicken and cook till it is 80% cooked (about 10–12 minutes).
Step 5: Roast in the masala
- Now remove the chicken and add 2–3 tbsp ghee and curry leaves in the same pan.
- Add the masala paste and fry on medium flame till it leaves oil (about 7–10 minutes).
- Now add the chicken back and fry for 5–7 minutes so that the masala coats well.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this recipe spicy?
It is medium to hot. You can adjust the amount of chillies.
Is boneless chicken a must?
No, you can use bone-in chicken as well – it will taste even better.
Can I use oil instead of ghee?
Technically yes, but the flavour of “ghee roast” comes from desi ghee.
Cooking Tips:
- Do not burn the spices too much or else the taste will turn bitter.
- The balance of tamarind and jaggery is very important – there should be a perfect blend of tang and sweet.
- Do the final roasting in ghee on low flame – this brings out the real flavour.
