Ingredients for the Five Spice Masala:
Haldi 50 Gms
Pepper 25 Gms
Cumin Seeds (Jeera) 50 Gms

Ingredients for Goan Roast Chicken:
1 Kilo Chicken
1 Table Spoon Garlic Paste
2 Table Spoons Five Spice Masala
Juice of 1 Sour Lime
1 Tablespoon Vinegar
Salt as Per Taste
1/2 Onion
3 Whole Kashmeri Chillies
Oil
1 Teaspoon Sugar
Goan Roast Chicken Procedure:
Wash and clean the chicken bits, remove most of the skin, you can keep a little for the sake of some oil. Marinate the bits with garlic paste, two spoons of the five spice masala, the 1/2 onion chopped the 3 red chillies, vinegar and lime juice for six hours to an entire day.
After your done with the marination heat some oil in the pan with the sugar until it gets reddish brown basically caramelised.
Then add the bits of chicken only with the chillies for now.
As you can see in the picture below the masala is not added, the chicken cooks without the masala and gets that nice roasted texture.
Once you get this texture after a few minutes of cooking you need to turn the chicken bits around so the other side gets roasted as well.
Add some water to the masala and pour it into the pan, something to not it may be better if you cook it in something that has a lid like a deep dish.
Put the lid on and let it cook for a while.
You can turn the bits once again and slice the big bits so the insides get done as well.
Cook the bits until it gets nice n dry, you can remove the lid to fascilitate evaporation. Your Goan Roast Chicken is ready.
Note the afove image still needs the gravy to disappear.

@ marinating anonymous
it depends on where you live (the temp) and how long you want to marinate for... if its not gonna get spoilt u can keep it out
Clyde, congrats and thanks to you, your mum, and whoever else is involved in putting together these great recipes. I'm an Anglo ex-Bombay and Goan food was always my favourite so it good to have the recipes presented so simple and easy. Keep up the good work

Loved discovering ur blog...what a breath of fresh air to come across authentic recipes ...far, few and n between on the cyber world i assure u!! Cheers for the great effort!! Just to let u know I am inspired to make the Goan Roast chicken with A whole big Turkey here in the US.An entire bird with skin in an oven ,smearing sum of the masala over & in between the skin & flesh, marinating it for 24hrs at least( given turkey is a fairly big bird & requires a lot of flavour). Roast it in an oven with baby potatoes & carrots with frequent basting with left over masala & melted butter till its golden brown all over! Do u think it will still work? Want to surprise my American & American Indian friends with a true Fusion Spread!!!
