Ghee Roast Chicken Chaanp

The day I saw this recipe on Sikandalous Cuisine I fell in love! the "love at first sight" kinds! and I knew I had to make this...the colours were so inviting! and it gave me an opportunity of following a recipe of the Master "Atul Sikand" himself!

Without further adieu...

Ingredients:

2 Chicken Chops - about 200 grams each.

Marinade :
2 Green Chiles.
2 Dried Red Chilies.
1 Teaspoon Jeera.
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper Corn.
4 Cloves Garlic.
20 grams Ginger
4 Cloves / laung.
1 Teaspoon Turmeric
1 Tablespoon Oil
Salt.

Paste:
200 ml Hot Water
2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste/Puree
Salt (to adjust the seasoning)

Method:

1. Coarsely ground the above Marinade ingredients without adding any water in a Mortar using a pestle.

2. Generously apply all over the chops after placing them in a bowl.

3. Cover the bowl with a cling wrap and let them marinate overnight in the fridge.

4. In the morning take the chops out of the fridge to bring back to room temperature.

5. Add 2 tablespoons ghee to a heavy bottom pan, seal the chops 3 minutes on each side , then tightly cover and allow them to cook over minimum heat for 30 minutes , turning once , Add no water.

6. When the chops are done remove them and allow them to rest while you make the gravy/sauce. Don't wash the pan !

7. Take 200 ml hot water , add to the same unwashed pan , there will be some masala stuck at the bottom , gently scrape that and allow the water to simmer in the residue.

8. Add 2 tablespoons tomato puree/paste (I used KDD Tomato Paste available here as it gives an awesome red tinge to curries).Cook 2 minutes covered over low heat , adjust flavors and spoon over the chops.

9. Enjoy them piping hot Tawa Rotis and get lost in the flavours...

10. Thank me Later.
