Prepare Ingredients: Start by skinning the chicken and cutting it into 8 pieces. Finely chop the tomatoes, green chilies, onions, and coriander leaves. Slice the red capsicum.
-
-
Saute Aromatics: Heat ghee in a large wok or kadai over medium heat. Once the ghee is hot, add the dried red chilies and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant. Then, add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn light brown.
-
Add Spices: Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for about a minute until the raw aroma disappears. Add the coriander powder and continue to cook for another minute, allowing the spices to release their flavors.
-
Incorporate Tomatoes and Chilies: Add the chopped tomatoes to the wok and fry them until they soften and release their juices. Then, add the chopped green chilies and stir to combine.
-
Simmer and Cook Chicken: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5-6 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Now, add the chicken pieces and sliced red capsicum to the wok. Cook until the chicken is tender, the fat floats on top, and the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.
-
Season and Garnish: Sprinkle garam masala over the cooked chicken and vegetables. Add the chopped coriander leaves and give it a final stir. Taste the dish and adjust the salt and seasoning according to your preference.
-
Serve Hot: Transfer the Kadai Chicken to a serving dish and garnish with additional chopped coriander leaves and slices of tomatoes for a vibrant presentation. Serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread for a satisfying meal.
Enjoy your flavorful Kadai Chicken creation! 🌶️🍅
