In South India, for making\u00a0meat roast, the seasoned meat is first cooked\u00a0(chicken, beef or mutton) till tender and then it&#8217;s stir fried along with onions, tomato and other spices till everything gets\u00a0browned. It&#8217;s a dry and spicy dish, caramelization makes the dish taste delicious.<\/p>\n<p>However, in American and European cuisine, roasting is done in the oven- whole chicken or\u00a0large cuts of beef\/lamb is usually used for roasting, first the meat is browned by brief exposure to high temperature (over stove top) and then allowed to slow roast in the oven.<\/p>\n<p>Not just meat, even sea food ( mussel, crab, shrimp, squid) can be made into roasts. I often make chicken roast and I enjoy it with chapati or poori. The other day, when I made chicken roast, I added small potatoes too. Cooked chicken and potatoes are\u00a0stir fried together till they turned brown, an incredible\u00a0roast was served along with poori.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19882\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/chicken-and-potato-roast.jpg\" alt=\"Chicken and Potato Roast\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/chicken-and-potato-roast.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/chicken-and-potato-roast-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/chicken-and-potato-roast-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/poori-fried-wheat-bread\/\" target=\"_blank\">Recipe for making Poori, click here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19883\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/poori-or-fried-dough.jpg\" alt=\"poori-or-fried-dough\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/poori-or-fried-dough.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/poori-or-fried-dough-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/poori-or-fried-dough-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Chicken-Potato-Roast.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Chicken and Potato Roast- Kerala Style<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT30M\">30 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT35M\">35 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For cooking chicken[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chicken breasts or thighs, boneless, diced- 2 breasts or thighs (could use 8 bone-in chicken pieces)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ginger-garlic paste- 1\/2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chili powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Fennel powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coriander powder-1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Garam masala- 3\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 1 sprig<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For making roast[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coconut Oil- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Onion, sliced thin- 3<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 1 sprig<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green chili, chopped- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Tomatoes, chopped- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Small Potatoes, halved and cooked- 8 (or use 4 regular potatoes- cubed or cut into thick wedges)<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Fennel powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chili powder- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Ground pepper- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- to taste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cilantro, chopped- 2 handfuls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">You could use either boneless chicken or bone-in chicken pieces.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a saucepan, combine the cut chicken with ginger-garlic paste, curry leaves, chili powder, fennel powder, coriander powder, garam masala and salt.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook covered.
