Ingredients

How to cook it
-
Cut the chicken into strips and the peppers and onions into thick petals so they keep some bite.
-
Heat the oil in a wide pan until it is properly hot, add the chicken and ginger garlic paste, and fry 8 minutes over high heat until browned at the edges.
-
Add the chopped tomato, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin and salt and cook 5 minutes until the tomato breaks down and the oil separates.
-
Throw in the onion and pepper petals and stir-fry 5 minutes over the highest heat. They should stay crunchy and bright, not soften into the gravy.
-
Season with black pepper and garam masala and toss once more.
-
Finish with slit green chilies, coriander leaves and a squeeze of lemon. Serve with hot roti.
