Pepper chicken masala/South-Indian Pepper chicken masala

on


Introduction:
South-Indian pepper chicken masala is unique in its taste and flavour. In this recipe, chicken is cooked with pepper, coriander and chilly powder. The spicy masala is well blended with the tender chicken and the addition of coconut milk helps to tone down the heat. Curry leaves are the only tempering ingredient used, but if you like whole spices you can add cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, fennel seeds and curry leaves for tempering. If you like your masala to be spicy, skip coconut milk and add water to cook chicken. Pepper chicken masala pairs perfectly with Idli, dosa, appam, idiyappam, bread, roti and steamed rice.
