Ingredients

  • 500g boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

  • In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with salt, red chili powder, turmeric, and vinegar.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
  • Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken and set it aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Vegetables

  • In the same pan, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Stir-fry them for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.
  • Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Then, add the chopped tomato and cook until it turns soft and pulpy.

Step 4: Combine the Chicken and Vegetables

  • Return the cooked chicken to the pan with the vegetables.
  • Add coriander powder, cumin powder, and garam masala. Stir well to combine the flavors.
  • If needed, add a little water to create a slightly thicker gravy.

Step 5: Final Touches

  • Let the dish simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak in the flavors of the vegetables and spices.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or naan.
