Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Wash and chop the cauliflower into small florets. Slice the bell peppers and carrots into thin strips.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Mise en Place

    Gather all the ingredients and have them ready for cooking.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pan or wok, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Then add minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pan and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add Vegetables and Spices

    Stir in the cauliflower, bell peppers, and carrots. Add the tomato paste, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken and vegetables in the spices.

  4. 7

    Simmer

    Cover the pan and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.

  5. 8

    Finish and Garnish

    Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh coriander before serving.
