Preparation:
- Start by thoroughly washing and drying the chicken. This ensures a clean and crispy finish to your dish.
-
Prepare the Spice Paste:
- In a bowl, combine garlic, curry powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, amchur, lemon juice, curry leaves, and light soy sauce. Gradually add warm water until you achieve a smooth paste of spreading consistency.
-
Marinate the Chicken:
- Rub the prepared spice paste both inside and outside of the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for 1 hour, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature (190ยฐC or 350ยฐF). This ensures even cooking and a golden brown exterior.
-
Roast the Chicken:
- Place the marinated chicken in a roasting pan and roast it in the preheated oven for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it’s cooked through and tender. If the chicken starts to brown too much during cooking, loosely cover it with foil to prevent excessive browning.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Accompany it with steamed rice, chapattis, or any other flatbread of your choice. Don’t forget to add a side salad for a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors of the Chicken Everest.
-
Note:
- The original recipe may call for ground rice, but if you can’t find it, you can make your own by toasting rice in a dry pan until golden brown, then grinding it into a fine powder using a food processor.
