Violet Meat Roast!!!( Shredded Chicken Roast)

Hello Fans!!!! I am super excited to share this recipe with u guys

It is said that no one is born master chef but one learns with practice or I would rather say some just have that magic to their hands and for sure My MIL’s touch to this recipe is mind blowing.

Though she is not much into cooking or rather she doesn’t boast about it but there are quite a few dishes that she makes super delicious. eg: her veg pulao, bombil chutney, bombil fry,pork vindalo, chicken chilly are few of them

When I had this dish for the first time made by my MIL made with beef ,though I don’t eat beef I sure relished the juicy potatoes that go in this recipe, since then I am a huge fan of this dish

I somehow managed to convince her to take the step by step pics while she made this dish for us on one fine Sunday lunch during the lockdown2020

Let me start by how did this recipe get it’s name “Violet meat Roast”

Violet was my grand MIL and this recipe is inherited from her by my MIL and now on by me!! Hence the name suggested by hubby!!

Every time my MIL makes this dish it turns out super delicious and we can’t stop at one serving

The original recipe calls for beef but in this recipe we used Chicken instead and it’s the same taste wise

Chicken is cooked with whole spices and than shredded and roasted in juicy onion n tomatoes and finally coated with fried potatoes which turn out juicy as well!!

I definitely need to try my hands on this recipe coz they say the way to MIL’s heart is to make sure her Son is fed well and the way to a Mans heart is to cook like his Mother does!!! #fingerscossed

Let’s get started with the recipe

Ingredients

2kg chicken (cut big pieces)

4big onions finely sliced

4 Tomatoes finely chopped

Next cover the vessel with lid and pour water on top as shown in next video ans let the chicken cook on low flame for 15/20min

Until here the process can be done overnight and kept in fridge once the chicken is cool

Next slice potatoes add salt n shallow fry

Add the fried potatoes to the chicken and mix well but very very gently and cover for sometime the poatoes will turn nice juicy

Important points

*The first 9steps can be done over night if it’s time consuming

*If u wish to make this with beef meat the recipe remains the same , but only make sure u cook marinated beef in a pressure cooker without adding water as beef will leave water, also make sure after first whistle let it cook on sim flame (this whole process should take 30/35minutes ). Once the beef is cooked let it cool,once it’s cool shred the meat and keep ready for further steps .
