    It was Saptami this year and I decided to cook an elaborate meal and why not; after all friends were invited. I decided to make two Bangladeshi delicacies I personally cherish, Mutton Tehari and also Bangladeshi Chicken Roast. Now this Roast is completely different from the typical Chicken Roast we are familiar with. Big chunks of chicken cooked in a silky rich Gravy and they call it chicken Roast in Bangladesh. In fact, the dish is known as Biyebarir Chicken Roast as well.

    Bangladeshi Chicken Roast aka Biyebarir Chicken Roast

    A dish I learned from youtube videos, with no first-hand reference available to me. Bangladeshi Chicken Roast or Biyebarir Chicken Roast, as they call it in Bangladesh. I have made it several times at my place following the recipes I found and finally come up with my version of the same. Obviously, I have maintained the heart of the dish. For example, use of spice mix without dry roasting the spices to make it. A silky Gravy has Onion Paste, Chopped Onion and Beresta (Onion crisps) and Mawa to make it richer.

    Completely different from the typical Chicken Roast we are aware of but Biyebarir Chicken Roast is undoubtedly one of the best chicken dishes I have tasted so far. One thing I must mention, I have never been to Bangladesh and hence never tasted the original Bangladeshi Chicken Roast. I come to know about this Chicken preparation with silky rich gravy from youtube. It is mentioned as Biyebarir Chicken Roast in most of the videos. I have no first-hand reference at this point to check though.

    Chicken Roast is a grilled chicken preparation; however Bangladeshi Chicken Roast is a gravy-based chicken delicacy. From the videos, I found they mostly use Chicken chunks similar to normal Chicken Roast while making the Bangladeshi Chicken Roast. The recipe though almost the same as conveyed by the videos where they use a few typical spices to make it. However, like every single dishes variations are there. I found they use a special spice powder to make the gravy flavorful. In addition, a paste of Nut (either Cashew nut or Almond) is also used. I found in one video, use of a paste of Raisin as well. I also added that while making the Bangladeshi Chicken Roast. Mawa or Khoya is used to make the gravy more "Sahi".

    %Biyebarir Chicken Roast

    I made the Roast with around 3 Kgs of Chicken this time. However, I will be sharing the recipe for 1 Kg for the ease of the readers. A bit complicated process, with the use of several ingredients but the Bangladeshi Chicken Roast is worth for two hours of cooking journey.
