Generally a green masala consist of coriander leaves right , but here carrying on with the family tradition , at home my mum would always make a green masala omitting out the coriander leaves.
Adding green chillies and just basic spices gives also a perfect green paste. Mostly used in East Indian cuisine like our kujit curry, kuddi curry etc. That's when it crossed my mind , why not use this green paste for a roast chicken .
