Garlic Tomato Chicken Roast Recipe
Garlic Tomato Chicken Roast Recipe is a flavorful South Indian-style chicken dish where juicy pieces of chicken are slow-roasted with garlic, tomato puree, and bold spices. It is Known in Tamil as Poondu Thakkali Kozhi Varuval and in Hindi as Lehsun Tamatar Chicken Bhuna. This semi-dry roast is bursting with the rich taste of roasted garlic and tangy tomatoes. To make this, chicken is cooked with whole garlic cloves, spicy chilli powder, turmeric, and garam masala in a tomato base until the masala thickens and coats the chicken well. A final tempering with extra oil adds depth and aroma, making it perfect with rice or chapati.
