Charred Green Bell Pepper Chicken

This recipe was more of trial and test method.I thought,what if, something new can be made and that's when I came up with this recipe.I hope you like it and let me tell you it did work.It had a slightly smoky flavor to it and I kind of liked it.

Ingredients:

500 gm boneless chicken

5 tbsp mixed paste of (a charred big green bell pepper,25 gm of coriander leaves,4 green chili)

1 tsp garlic paste.

1/2 tsp ginger paste.

1/2 tsp coriander powder.

1/2 tsp jeera powder.

2 medium red onion,finely chopped.

2 medium tomatoes,finely diced.

Whole spices (4 cloves,2 green cardamom,1 stick cinnamon,5 cones of black pepper,2 bay leaves).

1/2 a slice of lemon juice.

1 tbsp clarified butter/Ghee.

Salt and Sugar to taste.


Method:

The best charred peppers are ones cooked over charcoals but I've burned them over a gas flame, it will give a lightly smoky flavored pepper. Keep turning over the pepper until most of its skin is blackened.

Then peel of the skin and keep aside.

In a skillet,heat the clarified butter/ghee and then add in the whole spices.

When it starts to crackle and aroma starts to come out add in the chopped onions and saute.

Then add in the garlic paste and saute for 2 mins,add in the chicken pieces and mix all together.

When chicken is nearly cooked,add in the ginger paste,diced tomatoes,jeera powder,coriander powder and saute for another 2 mins and then add in water as required,and salt and sugar to taste and cover with a lid.

Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked,replace the lid and add in the bell pepper paste.

For another 2 mins,cover it again with a lid.

Replace the lid and add in the lemon juice and serve immediately.

Tastes good with roti or paratha. (*and sorry about the bad picture,taken in a rush*).Anyways,still try it and enjoy!
