Pepper Chicken Fry

I wanted to prepare something different from usual yet spicy. Had just gone through a video recently that share this recipe but I liked to try it out with few changes suiting our taste and the availability of ingredients readily available at home.

Recipe :

Ingredients :

• 500 gms chicken, cut, cleaned and marinated with salt and turmeric powder
• 1 tbsp peppercorns
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 2 pieces of half-inch cinnamon stick
• 3 cloves
• 3 dry red chillies
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
• 3 green chillies, slit
• salt as per taste
• 8-10 curry leaves
• 1 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped
• 3 tbsp oil

Method :

1. Grind peppercorns, fennel seeds and cumin seeds to fine powder
2. In a pan, heat oil. Once hot add the cloves, cinnamon, red chillies.
3. Saute for a minute.Then add the onion and saute till transparent.
4. Then add the ginger garlic paste and saute till its rawness is lost.
5. Next add the green chillies, ground spice powder, curry leaves and mix well.
6. Add the chicken, salt as per taste and mix well.
7. Cover and cook till the chicken is soft. Do not add any water as the chicken will cook in its own moisture.
8. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot as appetizer.
