Pepper roast is a South Indian dish characterized by its bold, Peppery flavours and aromatic spices. Typically made with meat or vegetables (such as chicken, lamb, duck, egg or potatoes), it’s best made by marinating the main ingredient in a blend of crushed black peppercorns, garlic and ginger. The marinated item is then roasted or stir-fried and coated with a flavourful pepper masala gravy. The dish includes ingredients like onions, curry leaves, and green chilies for additional depth of flavour. Pepper roast is beloved for its fiery kick and robust taste, making it a popular choice in South Indian cuisine.
