Kerala Chicken Roast 

by 2 Comments

Chicken roasted to perfection using coconut oil. A simple recipe to make.

I have been making quite a few chicken recipes recently even though I don’t eat chicken or either my parents do. The main reason being it is easier to make for guests when they come home.

This is a recipe I made a month back and it was pretty popular in Instagram so wanted to share the recipe here. I have scheduled posts for every week now so 🙂 You will see more recipes for me hopefully.

I am not a regular because this is my side hustle/passion and sometimes I lose energy to deal with everything. Anything which keeps me busy keeps me happy and gives me hope. There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope until quite recently. But.. still let us all believe …! When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope. !

Kerala Style Chicken Fry

by Leave a Comment

This is a simple chicken fry recipe but flavorful mainly because of coconut oil and coconut. Spicy and Authentic.


I like to make chicken recipes because my nephew can enjoy it too. Sometimes it is a big NO from him if it is a curry. Kids i say :D. ALso, it is easier to cook anything with less ingredients. The flavor on this recipe mainly comes from coconut oil and a good chili powder. Please try using fresh ginger and garlic rather than using ginger garlic paste. It makes a lot of difference. Try marinating at least for thirty minutes. Even overnight is good. The flavors get in. Also massage the chicken with the marination. Don’t worry about getting your hands messy. Worth the mess!


Thank you all for your concerned emails and messages from my last post. I did not realize so many people even read my post. I am good. 😀 Sometimes I just blabber, I guess. Otherwise I am good. Life is beautiful. No more negativity or even a touch of negativity 😉 Will try atleast!
