Kasuri Roast Lahore

Made Chicken Roast famous in Lahore as Deghi Roast or Qasoori Roast using my new steam roaster.

Recipe
Leg quarters or full chicken: 12 or 2 (with roast cuts)
Yogurt 4 table spoons (tbs)
Salt 2 tbs
Red chili powder 1 tbs
Black pepper powder 1 tea spoon (tsp)
Ginger Garlic Paste 2 tbs
Garam Masala powder 1 tbs
Red chili crushed 1 tsp
Coriander powder 1.5 tbs
Zeera powder 1 tbs
Ajwaen 2 pinch
Jaefal powder 1/6 tsp
Javetri powder 1/6 tsp
Lemon juice 2 tbs
Cooking oil 2 tbs

Well mix everything and apply this mixture on chicken. Use fingers to push it inside the roasting cuts. Refrigerate for few hours. Now ready to cook.

Gently wipe chicken with hands to remove access spice mixture and save it for next stage. Now heat up fair amount of oil and fry the chicken (2-3 minutes if whole or 1 minute if quarters). Let it rest for 5 minutes and apply spice mixture we saved before frying.

Now place chicken in the steamer (any steamer is good). Cover the pot and put on full flame for 5 minutes then turn flame medium low and let it steam for at least one hour. More is better.

Frying chicken in beginning keeps it intact as one piece and it comes out very moist and tender.

You can twist spices per your preference.

If you think you normally eat one quarter, make two for you when making this style roast and you will still feel hungry😀
