What Makes This Recipe Unique

This dish combines bold flavors with a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy notes. It’s quick to prepare and offers a delicious twist on classic chicken recipes that everyone will enjoy.

Cooking Advice

- Use boneless chicken pieces for even cooking and easy eating.
- Marinate the chicken well to keep it juicy and flavorful.
- Cook the sauce on medium heat to avoid burning the garlic and ginger.

Step 1

Heat some oil in a pan and toss in the chillies, green capsicum, red bell pepper, and onions. Let them cook for about a minute, then take them off the heat and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed, then throw in the chopped onions. Cook them for a minute or two until they start to soften.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes until they’re lightly browned.

Step 4

Stir in the ginger garlic paste and let it cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the turmeric, pepper, cumin seeds, red chilli powder, salt, and Kashmiri chilli powder. Mix everything well so the chicken is nicely coated with the spices.

Step 6

Pour in the ketchup and cook it for 1-2 minutes to bring out the flavors.

Step 7

Add some water, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes so the chicken cooks through and the sauce thickens a bit.

Step 8

Finally, add the sautéed veggies back into the pan, give it a good mix, and you’re ready to serve!

Best Pairings For This Dish

Serve this dish hot with steamed rice or fried noodles. It also pairs well with a side of fresh salad or stir-fried vegetables to add some crunch and color to your meal.

Refrigeration Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of water if the sauce has thickened too much.
