Aathira Sethumadhavan, a certified nutritionist and chef known for sharing flavour-packed, calorie-counted recipes on social media, has shared her take on chicken ghee roast – a rich, spicy South Indian classic that delivers an impressive 39 grams of protein per serving. In an Instagram video shared on July 11, the chef explains, “Fell in love with Ghee Roast the first time I tried it while studying in Manipal – I’ll never get bored of it, be it chicken, prawn or paneer ghee roast. Fiery chillies, freshly roasted spices, juicy chicken – all cooked down in ghee until the masala turns glossy and clings to every single piece. There are multiple variations of this recipe – but this one is my favourite.”
