Kadampanadan chicken roast is an ethnic chicken dish which prepared in my home town Kadampanad in olden days. Chicken cooked with fresh ground masala and spiced with black pepper which abundantly available in all households is a specialty of this dish. Very simple and very delicious and I had very fond memories about this dish. It was prepared and seen first in my house was when the naming ceremony of my nephew happening. I was about 13 years old that time. My Mom's sister was preparing this dish as the highlight for that day's lunch and she came to my father and asked him whether he likes extra punch of black pepper in the dish. I was wondered how detailed she was thinking when a dish was prepared. It was so delicious. Recently I thought to recollect the recipe from her and get it.
Re producing the dish which once conquered my mind and heart was always cherished.
