ABOUT Dahi and Pepper Chicken RECIPE

This was my husband's favourite dish. I don't remember how I began making this, mostly based on what I could find in the kitchen. I used to make it at least once a week with loads of pepper and gravy.

Ingredients Serving: 2

500 gms boneless chicken cubed
250 gms dahi mixed with 250 ml water or 500 gms buttermilk
4 to 5 tsp black pepper powder
1/2 tsp haldi
Red chilli powder to taste
1/4 tsp hing / asafoetida
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp roasted cumin powder
Black salt to taste
Water depending on how much gravy you want

Instructions

In a cooking pot combine all the masalas with the dahi and whisk so that there are no lumps left.
Add the chicken and leave for about 4 hours to marinate.
Stir well, add water and put the gas on high.
Once it starts boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and let cook until the chicken is tender.
Enjoy with rotis, bread/ rice or even appams or dosa
