Pepper Chicken curry


One of our family favorite chicken curry is pepper chicken curry which is loaded with freshly ground pepper. This is a simple recipe yet it tastes very good and the taste is different from other traditional chicken curry.  The recipe calls for fresh ground pepper. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Chicken - 2-3 pounds.
Medium Onion - 2
Tomatoes - 2
Green chillies - 5
Garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
Ginger paste - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Red chilli powder - a pinch
Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
Cumin powder - 1/2 tsp
Garam masala - 1/4 tsp
Ground pepper (fresh) - 2-3 tsp
Salt
Curry leaves
Coriander leaves
Method 

Heat Oil in a pan and saute the onions with curry leaves and green chillies till the onions are golden brown.  Now, add the garlic and ginger paste.  Add the tomatoes and then add the spices (turmeric powder, chilli powder, cumin, coriander powder and Garam masala) and fry the onion/tomato mixture for 2-3 minutes.

Add the cut chicken and add salt and the freshly ground pepper powder.  Stir well and  cook the chicken on medium flame for 20-25 minutes.  There is no need to add water as the chicken will cook in the onion/tomato mixture.  Keep stirring often.


When the chicken is cooked, simmer uncovered for 5-10 minutes so that the gravy is thickened.  Garnish with cilantro leaves.

Enjoy with Chapathis, Parathas, Naan or Rice.
