KADHAI MURGH WITH BELL PEPPER (CAPSICUM)

Kadhai Murgh with Bell Pepper (Capsicum) image

This is a recipe I created one day when I was in the mood for chicken curry, but also needed to use up some capsicums. I love this dry curry and it is a huge hit with my friends too. It is very spicy and tastes great with parathas.

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized chunks
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 onions, sliced thin
2 green bell peppers, cut into thin strips
4 green chile peppers, halved lengthwise
½ teaspoon cumin seed
½ teaspoon coriander seed
½ teaspoon whole black peppercorns
½ cinnamon stick
6 whole cloves
1 black cardamom pod
¼ teaspoon fennel seed
½ cup water
2 tablespoons coconut milk powder
½ teaspoon ground red pepper
salt to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

Evenly season the chicken with salt and turmeric; set aside for 15 minutes.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or kadhai over medium heat. Cook the onions in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and cook until browned, about 5 minutes more. Stir the bell peppers and chile peppers into the chicken; continue cooking another 5 minutes.
Grind the cumin seed, coriander seed, black peppercorns, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom pod, and fennel seed into a coarse powder; sprinkle over the mixture in the skillet. Add the water, coconut milk powder, ground red pepper, and salt. Cook until the chicken is tender, about 30 minutes. If the curry is too wet, cook on high until the moisture evaporates. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.
