recipe difficulty rating.

 

Why the chicken roast recipe has been rated as little care needed.

 

Although the ingredient list looks long, these ingredients will be familiar to you if you regularly make curries at home.

 

The ingredients can also be found in many Asian stores as well as any supermarkets.

 

The reason I labeled the difficulty of the recipe as above is that there are a few elements to be prepared before assembling all the ingredients to make the chicken recipe.

 

A single large pan or wok can be used to pan roast the chicken, frying the onions and finally assembling the roast chicken curry.

 

All you need to do is wipe clean the pan or wok with some kitchen paper towels in between or simply wash the pan.

 

 

 

Workflow to make chicken roast curry.

 

  • Make the fresh spice blend.
  • Marinate chicken.
  • Fry onions separately.
  • Make an Onion, green chilies, garlic, tomato paste.
  • Assembling all the ingredients.

 

Cooking time– as you look at the workflow you will notice there are a few components that need to be prepared before making the chicken roast. 

 

If you are serving lunch at 12.30 pm-1.30 p.m. make sure to start the curry at least 1 and a half hour early= 15 minutes to have all the ingredients ready + 15 minutes for the chicken to marinate + roughly 1 hour to have all the other components ready and cooking the roast chicken curry.
