Hot N Spicy Pepper Garlic Chicken



This Recipe is completely my Mom-in-law's. Ofcourse she cooks all the recipes with a spicy touch. Its one of my favourite recipes of her's. It is a Mouth watering hot and spicy chicken side dish. The Whole Pepper is twisted in Garlic and renders a delicious flavour. Let's see how to prepare.

Ingredients:
  • Boneless Chicken - 1/2 kg
  • Big Onion - 1 large
  • Peppercorns - 2 tbsp(Do avoid Pepper powder)
  • Green chilli - 2 medium size or 1 big size
  • Garlic - 10 pods big size(Do avoid Garlic paste)
  • Cinnamon stick - 1 inch
  • Cardamom - 1 no
  • Turmeric - 1 tsp
  • Curry leaves - 2 sprig
  • Coriander leaves fistful
  • Salt as per your taste
Cooking Method:

Wash thoroughly all Chicken pieces, add turmeric and salt. If it is too big cut into small pieces. Keep it aside. Grind peppercorns, chilli, cinnamon, curry leaves, and garlic to a smooth paste. Add some water while grinding.

  • Take a pressure pan add onions and cardamom fry till brown, add the ground masala and turmeric powder fry till raw smell leaves. 
  • Now add the chicken pieces and saute nicely.
  • Add water and required salt. cook well up to 4 whistles. 
  • Open the lid and u will notice some water in it. 
  • Reduce the water quantity by keeping in medium flame.
  • Stir often so that it may not get burnt.
  • Now the pepper is very well twisted with this garlic chicken and provides spiciness.
  • If you want gravy just switch off in gravy consistency.
  • Or if you prefer dry pepper chicken wait for some more time till the water completely reduced. Anyways it will be in slightly gravy texture( I prefer only this dry chicken).
  • Garnish with enough coriander leaves. It gives a nice flavour.


It goes well with Rotis, Chappathi's and especially with Rice Varieties or even as side for Chicken Biryani.


Notes:
  • Whole Pepper corns gives a nice aroma to this Garlic Chicken. Usage of Pepper powder differs the good taste of the whole recipe.
  • Use whole Garlic pods. Avoid Garlic paste. 
  • If you need more gravy increase the Pepper and Garlic quantity.
