Standard 1 cup measures 240 ml

Ingredients

  • ½ kg Chicken
  • 2 Onion
  • 1.5 tbsp Ginger garlic paste
  • 3 Green chilli
  • ¼ tsp Turmeric powder
  • ½ tsp Garam Masala
  • 1 tbsp Crushed Pepper
  • 1 tsp Soya Sauce
  • 1 tsp Tomato Sauce
  • 1 spring Curry Leaves – a spring
  • 1 tsp Fennel Seeds – 1 tsp
  • Corrainder Leaves a handful to garnish
  • Salt as needed
  • ¼ cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Oil

To Marinate:

  • ½ tsp Pepper powder
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp Salt

Instructions 

  • Marinate the cleaned chicken pieces with salt, Lemon juice, and pepper and set aside for about 30 mins.
  • Heat a pan with oil once it heats up add in the Fennel seeds let in splutter and then add in curry leaves and green chili.
  • Next add in the sliced onions and cook till they become translucent.
  • Next add in the ginger garlic paste and fry till the raw smell leaves
  • Add in the spice powders. I am adding Crushed pepper, Turmeric powder, Salt, and Garam Masala. Be cautious on adding Salt as we marinate the chicken in Salt and the sauces will have salt. So add a little and if it's less we can add later.
  • Combine everything and then add in Soya Sauce and Tomato Sauce.
  • Now add in the marinated chicken pieces. Mix everything well so that the masala is evenly mixed with the chicken. Then add in ¼ cup of water and cover and cook the chicken in medium flame for 5 mins.
  • After 5 mins, open the lid and give a mix. Check for Salt and spice and adjust if required. Cook until the chicken is tender and cooked perfectly.
  • Once the chicken is dry and cooked. Switch off the flame, Finally, garnish with chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • Fry some curry leaves and add to the dish at the end, Curry Leaves enhances the flavour of Pepper Chicken.
  • Always use Crushed pepper for this recipe.
