Pepper Chicken

Share

Description:

                    Chicken can be prepared in various styles with different ingredients. I tried preparing Chicken with pepper and turn out real good. Here goes the recipe.

Ingredients:

1. Chicken - 500gm

2. Onion/shallots 

3. Garlic

4. Pepper powder - 2-3tsp

5. Ginger 

6. Garam masala ( ready or homemade)

7. Curry leaves

9. Tomato - 1

10. Turmeric- a pinch

11. Green chilli

12. Oil

13. Salt to taste

Procedure:

                 Clean the chicken and keep it aside. Chop the Onions, green chili, tomatoes and shallots.  Crush the ginger and garlic. For this recipe I used the homemade garam masala. Coarse powder the cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, star anise, fennel seed and homemade garam masala is ready. Take a skillet and pour oil into it. Once the oil becomes hot add the curry leaves, green chilli, crushed ginger and garlic. Stir it for sometime till the raw smell goes. Next add the shallots/onions and salt as required.

                  Once the onion starts changing the color add the tomatoes. Close the lid and allow to cook. Then add the pepper powder and the garam masala(we can add it now or even in the end). Next goes in the chicken. Stir everything properly, so that the gravy coats on the chicken. There is no need to add water, since the Chicken itself will ooze out water. Close the lid and allow the chicken to cook. Check for salt and add if required. Give regular stirs in between. Once the Chicken is 90% cooked, take off the lid and then allow the excess water to evaporate. This will make the Chicken have a thick gravy coated all over. Cook it without lids for sometime and then switch off the stove. Pepper chicken ready to be served. Garnish with Cilantro before serving. Hope all will like this recipe.
