Garnish and Serve
Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breast, adjusting cooking time accordingly. Prawns or firm fish like kingfish can also be used, added in the last 5-7 minutes of cooking.
Add 1-2 cubed potatoes or carrots along with the chicken to make the curry more substantial and absorb the delicious gravy.
Replace chicken with firm tofu, paneer, or a mix of vegetables like mushrooms, cauliflower, and chickpeas. Add paneer or tofu in the last 5 minutes to prevent them from breaking.
For an even richer and creamier gravy, substitute half of the water with thin coconut milk during the simmering stage.
Chicken is an excellent source of high-quality lean protein, which is crucial for building and repairing tissues, supporting muscle mass, and maintaining overall body function.
The blend of spices like turmeric, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon contains powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that can help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation in the body.
Coconut provides medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a type of saturated fat that is metabolized differently than other fats. They are easily digested and can serve as a quick source of energy for the body and brain.
Spices like red chilies and black pepper contain compounds like capsaicin and piperine, which have been shown to have a thermogenic effect, potentially giving a slight boost to your metabolism.
One serving of Goan Chicken Ros contains approximately 450-550 calories, depending on the specific cut of chicken used and the amount of oil.
It can be part of a balanced diet. It's rich in protein from chicken and contains healthy fats from coconut. The array of spices offers anti-inflammatory benefits. To make it healthier, use a leaner cut of chicken and be mindful of the oil quantity.
Absolutely. To reduce the heat, use only Kashmiri dried red chilies, which are known for their vibrant color and mild spice. You can also reduce or omit the black peppercorns.
If fresh coconut isn't available, you can use frozen grated coconut (thawed) as the next best option. Unsweetened desiccated coconut can also be used, but it's recommended to soak it in warm water for 15-20 minutes before roasting to rehydrate it.
Store any leftover curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors tend to develop and taste even better the next day. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
'Ros' in Konkani, the language of Goa, means 'gravy' or 'juice'. So, Chicken Ros essentially means chicken in gravy.
