Pepper Chicken




Pepper chicken is extremely flavorful chicken with a spicy peppery taste. It is a simple dish with little ingredients which can be put together quickly. The only spice used here is pepper but you can also add garam masala. What I love in this chicken is its simplicity but at the same time it has a wonderful taste and enticing flavors of pepper,ginger,garlic and curry leaves.


Ingredients
Chicken - 1 lb
( Here I have used boneless chicken)
Onion chopped- 1large
Ginger- 2 inch thick piece
Garlic- 8-10 cloves
Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
Pepper powder- 1 1/3 tsp
( adjust according to taste)
Whole pepper- 1/2 tsp
Clove- 3
Curry leaves
oil
salt to taste
lemon juice- 1 1/2 tsp
Coriander leaves


Heat oil in a pan and add cloves and whole pepper and slightly roast. Now add ginger, garlic and curry leaves and fry till there is a nice aroma. Add onions and when slightly brown add turmeric powder and chicken. Stir fry in medium flame for two minutes. Add pepper powder and salt and half a cup of water and close the lid. When the chicken is cooked and all the water is absorbed add lemon juice and coriander leaves and mix well.

Try this...
Hope you will all enjoy..
