Chicken roast with soy sauce

South Indian style chicken roast with a chinese touch !!

Ingredients you will need for the marination : Chicken,vinegar,soy sauce,chilly powder,salt,curry leaves.

Take 1.5 lb chicken (I used boneless skinless chicken thighs) and add 2Tbsp vinegar.

2 Tbsp Soy sauce..

1/2 tsp Salt..

2Tbsp red chilli powder..

8 curry leaves..

Stir it all together and keep it aside for one hour.By that time we can make the masala.

Just two ingredients: Onion and garlic

Slice 2 medium onions.

Crush 3 garlic...I took 1 big and 4 small ones because that was all I had..

Heat 1 Tbsp oil.

Saute the onions till golden brown..

Add the garlic..

Add one more Tbsp of oil if you feel the onions are too dry.

When it becomes this colour ,off the flame and keep it covered.It will not loose the flavor when it is kept covered.

Now we can go back to the chicken

It is almost an hour..Transfer the chicken in to a pan.

Cover it and cook it in low flame.

Continue cooking...

Still not done !!

Aha !! See that ..The oil starts getting seperated from the chicken juice..Now thats done.

On the flame of the other pan and transfer the chicken in to that.I think this was the toughest photograph of this session.

Mix it well with the onions.

Like this..And cook it until the gravy thickens.

Stir it occasionally.

And its done ..

It is a perfect side dish with any type of rice..A perfect recipe for anyone who likes something sweet and savory !!
