Chicken Roast (My style)
Ingredients:
1 Medium sized chicken cut into 6 pieces (I keep the skin on – it’s tastier)
12-15 medium sized cleaned Garlic pods cut into thin slices
10 dry red chillies (broken in half)
4 tablespoons pure ghee
Salt to taste
Put all the ingredients in a large heavy bottomed vessel with water just about covering the chicken. Keep turning the chicken around every now and then so it cooks evenly. Once chicken is cooked and water is completely dried out, add ghee and keep turning chicken continuously till it is nicely browned all over. Goes well with White wine, white bread and crispy green salad.
PS: Try not to overcook chicken or it will simply disintegrate while tossing around.

Pork Vindaloo ( Can be substituted with Chicken or Beef too)
Ingredients:
1 kg boneless pork (Thick skinned meat with fat)
3 tablespoons Jeera ( Cumin seeds)
3 big onions
2 medium sized tomatoes
1.5 inch piece Ginger
12-15 medium sized cleaned Garlic pods
6 dry red chillies
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons White Vinegar
Method: Put all ingredients except pork and vinegar in a mixer and grind till smooth. Remove and apply the masala to meat coating well. Allow to marinate for minimum 1 hour (better if 3-4 hours). Set on fire and let cook till pork is cooked but not mushy. Add water if necessary while cooking (Don’t add too much water or masala will become thin gravy and too much cooking to dry the gravy will soften the pork too much). Once pork is cooked and masala is thick, add vinegar, toss around and remove from fire.
