Sometime back I had tried Andhra style spicy chicken roast which I had adapted from 'OD' and this time it is from Kudpimaams blog as suggested by my friend Laxmi Shenoy..The dish came out very tasty . As I repeatedly keep mentioning I like to try new recipes most of the time ,I tried this version this time.Coming back to the recipe it is better to start the preparation prior, a day in advance as the recipe calls for marination of 7-8 hours however I did not follow as I wanted to prepare it the same day.Even powdering the Andhra masala powder prior saves a lot of time.I have halved the measurements of Andhra masala powder as I like mild flavour,but you may double the measurement as per the original recipe.
