Hi Terry
Chicken Roast
A famous Bangladeshi dish, enjoyed it many times over the years, especially at weddings and Eid celebrations.
My recipe is a bit different, where the spicy fried chicken
is added to a dry Bhuna style curry.
Really Lovely Grub ;D Thanks for posting

Chewytikka,

me too on please please "post the recipe" - specifically the bhuna style curry. would love to give it a go.

i'm really keen on any sort of cook in the pot dishes and this sounds very tasty.

Hi Jerry
This is what I call a freestyle curry, in that I don't have a documented recipe written as yet. (All In my Head)
I'll make it again today and document it as I go.

Won't bother with the Video as it takes around half an hour and would be a bit boring.

A very cheap and tasty meal. I usually pay a quid for 2 Chicken leg quarters
and the Bhuna is usually onion and capsicum and whatever else is lurking about.

I'll post this on a new thread as I think people should give Terry's recipe a go and
give him some feedback for sharing another recipe.
cheers Chewy

had to give the bengali chicken a go. was not disappointed - a keeper for sure.

i know thigh meat is the ideal meat for this but down to availability i used breast - method was as i would for tikka.

i made a 0.5 batch for a 1st go as i only needed 1 off albeit large breast (to go in staff curry). the amount of marinade would have done at least x2 and probably x3 (nb only used 30ml yogurt).

the only difficulty i had was getting the methi into the recipe with the meat on the BBQ - not as good a using a wok/frying pan (as spec method). it's no good putting the methi into the marinade.

going forward i would not use the BBQ again for this dish. i know from dippies biryani how good the methi becomes during the hot fry and this did not work the same on the BBQ.

i will try my wok to pre cook and and also to finish fry - as per the spec method.

Hi Jerry,

Have you thought about initially frying the Chicken in a wok to seal it and to ensure that the methi sticks to the meat, then finishing off on the BBQ for that smokey taste?
