Pepper Chicken is one of the easiest chicken recipes I’ve learnt recently.I’ve slowly started to cook nonveg dishes especially chicken. I got a chicken recipe handbook from a broiler shop long back even before blogging, and now I am trying dishes from it one by one. This pepper chicken is one recipe I tried from there …should say this is a keeper.
Pepper Chicken Recipe – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 30 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Sidedish | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Recipe Category: Sidedish | Recipe Cuisine: South Indian
Chicken – 400 gms
Onion – 1 finely chopped
Tomato – 1 finely chopped
Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp
Turmeric powder – a generous pinch
Red Chilli powder – 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder – 1 tsp
Coriander leaves – 1 tsp chopped finely
To roast and grind:
Pepper – 1.5 tsp
Fennel seeds – 1/2 tsp
To temper:
Jeera – 1 tsp
Cinnamon – 1/4 inch piece
Cloves – 2
Cardamom – 1
Curry leaves – 10
Green Chillies – 1 chopped
Method:
- Dry roast the ingredients under the list ‘to roast and grind’ till slightly browned and grind it to a coarse powder(I used my hand motar pestle to do that). Keep aside. In a pressure cooker heat oil – add onion and ginger garlic paste and saute till slightly browned.
- Then add tomato and fry till its mushy and raw smell leaves. Add the turmeric,red chilli, coriander and half of the coarse pepper powder along with chicken pieces and fry well till raw smell leaves. Saute till chicken is well blended with the spices.
- Then add water till immersing level say 1 cup along with salt and pressure cook for 4 to 5 whistles.Meanwhile heat oil in a kadai and add the items under ‘to temper’ then add pressure cooked chicken.
- Add the remaining pepper fennel powder and saute till it becomes semi dry.Taste and adjust salt.Add chopped coriander leaves and switch it off.
This is a spicy curry and I served it with rice and chicken kuzhambu. I love it with rotis too.
My Notes:
- This is a dry curry and suits well with rice or even rotis.
- Adding freshly ground pepper powder gives a nice flavour but check the spice level before adding it.
wow this is awesome chicken…wow mouth watering!

Wow delicious chicken,drooling
thankoo for the recepie…am gonna try dis..but where to add cinamon n cloves
@Kalyani : Aadd hte to temper along with onions…
this recipe is great
It's a nice and simple recipe.. Just one suggestion. 4-5 whistles is a little too much for chicken, especially if it tender. 2-3 should do it, or the chicken will be mushy and overcooked.
@Some : We get broiler chicken so 4-5 whistles is needed. As you can see in the pic its firm, so it depends on the chicken…
Will the Chicken be cooked if we cook like this.I thought First pressure cook the Chicken with water and salt in it and then follow the process you did to cook.
Please clarify my doubt?
Please read through the steps I have pressure cooked the chicken along with the spice powders
