This is one of the famous chicken preparation of Goa. It is spicy, rustic and tangy in taste. The chicken is roasted first and then cooked in the masala. The taste is just awesome. The original recipe needs the famous Toddy vinegar and rum, but that was not available so I used normal vinegar. Some use tamarind balls instead of vinegar also. It is served with potatoes wedges and onion rings. Eaten with pao a bread available in Goa. You can enjoy it with roti or simple bread. Generally leg pcs is preferred for this recipe.
