Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the chicken breast pieces with yogurt, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Chop the onion and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and ginger.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Onions and Spices

    In a large pan or skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

  3. 5

    Add Bell Peppers

    Stir in the chopped bell peppers and garam masala. Cook for another 5 minutes until the bell peppers are tender but still crisp.

  4. 6

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and black pepper as needed.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve Hot
