Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix the chicken breast pieces with yogurt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

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

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a large kadahi or wok, heat the cooking oil over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Sauté Spices

    Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Cook Onions and Aromatics

    Add the diced onion, ginger, and garlic to the kadahi. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 6

    Add Marinated Chicken

    Incorporate the marinated chicken into the kadahi. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

    Stir in the bell peppers, garam masala, and additional salt if needed. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the bell peppers are slightly tender but still crisp.
