Chicken Roast is one of my Favorite recipe. Chicken is marinated in yogurt, masalas and egg. It is cooked tender. Then sauted with Onion, tomatoes, Mint and Coriander. Finally garnished with Coconut Chunks. This coconut chunk idea adds more crunch to the dish. This is one of my favorite recipe. I prefer this recipe when i have my favorite ones visiting home or on a leisurely Sunday lunch. Here goes the recipe…
