Discover the rich, bold flavours of Kerala Nadan Chicken Roast at Kerala Palace Restaurant in NE Calgary. Tender chicken pieces are marinated in a robust blend of Kerala spices and slow-cooked in fresh coconut oil with pearl onions, curry leaves, green chilies, and tomatoes until the masala coats every piece in a glorious, aromatic crust. This traditional Kerala dry roast is a beloved partner to Appam, Kizhi Porotta, and Kerala Parotta.

Customer Favourite

Kerala Nadan Chicken Roast ('Nadan' meaning 'country-style' or 'traditional') is a staple of Kerala home kitchens. Unlike North Indian chicken curries, this dish is a semi-dry preparation where the chicken is cooked down until the masala clings tightly to each piece, creating an intensely flavourful coating. At Kerala Palace Restaurant, we use fresh coconut oil — the hallmark fat of Kerala cooking — which lends the dish its distinctive aroma and authentic character.

Our Chicken Roast begins with bone-in chicken pieces marinated overnight in ginger, garlic, freshly ground pepper, coriander, and red chilli. They are then slow-roasted in a kadai with coconut oil, curry leaves, sliced pearl onions, green chilies, and tomatoes until the gravy reduces and caramelizes around the chicken. The result is bold, deeply spiced, and incredibly satisfying — best enjoyed with Appam or fresh Kerala Parotta.
