Ingredients
- 500 gram or 1.1 lb chicken breast boneless and skinless cut into cubes
- 1 medium green bell pepper cut into cubes
- 1 medium red bell pepper cut into cubes
- 1 medium onion cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoon sunflower oil
- 1 large size onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger finely chopped
- 1 large size tomato finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon tomato ketchup
- 2 fresh green chili slit
- ¼ cup fresh coriander finely chopped
- ½ cup warm water
Dry Spices
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala
- ½ teaspoon kasuri methi dried Fenugreek leaves, optional
Instructions
- Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a pot or pan. Once the oil is hot enough, add onion and green and red bell pepper cubes. Saute them for 2 minutes over medium/high flame. The goal here is to get some nice colors on the veggies. Then set the veggies aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the same pot. Once the oil is hot enough, add chicken and saute for about a minute over medium/high flame.
- Add salt, ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, and ¼ teaspoon chili powder. Stir-fry the chicken for about 4-5 minutes over medium/high flame until the chicken is fried and coated with the spices. Once done, transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil and the butter in the pan. Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Saute for about 1-2 minutes over medium flame until the onion looks softened.
- Add the ground cumin, coriander, pepper, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Saute to mix.
- Immediately sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of water and saute for a couple of seconds. This step prevents the dry spices from burning and helps release their flavor.
- Add chopped tomatoes, followed by salt. Stir and cook until the tomatoes turn mushy.
- Once done, add tomato ketchup and give it a mix.
- Add chicken and stir fry for 1-2 minutes over medium flame.
- Add ½ cup of warm water and mix.
- Add slit chilies, sauteed onion, and bell peppers. Stir to mix. Simmer the flame, cover, and cook until the chicken is tender.
- Turn off the flame and sprinkle garam masala, chopped coriander, and Kasuri methi if added. Stir to mix and serve hot.
Notes
- Tender and juicy chicken pieces. Stir-frying the chicken for a couple of minutes before adding it back to the pan creates a lovely coating that seals the juices inside and prevents it from drying or being overcooked.
- Tender and flavorful vegetables. Sauteing the veggies first, then adding them towards the end of the cooking maintains their nutrition, color, and bite.
- Customize the heat level. Use less or more chilies or chili powder based on your heat level preference.
