Nadan Chicken Roast (Kerala Style)


Kerala Chicken Roast or Nadan Chicken Roast is a pan roasted chicken fry with very little oil. The spices is blended and rub over the chicken and slow roasted in coconut oil...and lastly garnished with fresh curry leaves.

The best thing about this chicken roast or kozhi roast is that, you do not marinate and keep for a long time, as it is slow roasted the marination will seep in, so this is an easy and quick dish. You really do not need any preparation, just gather all the ingredients blend and roast....so quick and easy!!

The ingredients for the marination are blended in a mixie or blender and rubbed on to the raw chicken, which is then slow roasted. The chicken are so well coated with spices and it is tender and juicy. I would suggest a nonstick pan or a cast iron skillet, I used the former....and I just used about 1 tbsp of oil to roast this....wow! for calorie conscious people!

I used 500 gm chicken and had to make it in two batches, and I used just about 1-2 tbsp of oil all together. For this recipe, I would suggest bone-in-chicken, rather than boneless.....try it and you will know why I made this suggestion :)

This one is so easy to make, that I am sure bachelors will love it......guys are you listening??

And blend.

Put this over the cleaned chicken. Add 2 tbsp of rice flour and 1 to 1 1/2 tsp salt (or as needed). Mix well.

Heat a non stick pan or an iron skillet pan. Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil, once it is heated, lay the chicken pieces, simmer the fire and cover the pan with a lid....let it cook and roast on low flame for about 5-7 min....just check in between, we do not want it to get burnt.

Then turn the chicken carefully and let it cook and roast the other side for about 5 min....or until it is nicely done. Lastly sprinkle some fresh curry leaves and toss it.....see that all the sides of the chicken are roasted...if needed toss it and simmer away for another 2-3 min.

Serve hot with Coconut Rice or Tandoori Roti

Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions.
