How to Make Roshan Lal Chicken Recipe

The Roshan Lal is made up of three individual components that complement each other. The chicken is dry cooked in the oven and the Roshan Lal sauce is made up over the course of 50mins to fuse all the flavours together to provide a rich taste sensation. The sauce is added to the chicken and is served with cool mint yoghurt, which is then  garnished with fresh coriander  leaving you with a refreshing taste.

Crush ginger, garlic and fenugreek leaf together and spread on to chicken fillets, before cooking in a shallow pan

Sauce (cooking time – 50mins on gas stove)

Finley chop onions and place into a pan with a dash of olive oil

Add a pinch of salt to the mixture and then add chopped ginger & garlic to the pan
