Pasted Chicken ~ Roasted Chicken (less oil)

Pasted chicken  is yet another delightful recipe and in other words can be called as roasted chicken because of the colour and taste.The speciality of this chicken is there is no chilly powder or coriander powder as with the normal routine. The pasted chicken as the name suggests is a recipe in which the ingredients are made into a paste and the chicken is added to this and cooked.I prepared it with boneless chicken ,you can use chicken with bones too but preferably small pieces.All relished this recipe a lot esp my son who bis a fan of chicken recipes :-)
