Preparation

Clean wash and cut the chicken pieces to strips as shown in the photo.

Wash and cut the onions, green bell pepper, red bell pepper to thin strips.

Method

In a big bowl add all the ingredients mentioned for marinating and mix it really well.

Now add the chicken pieces and toss it around, so that the masala is coated all over the chicken.

Wrap it with cling flim and refrigerate the chicken for at least 1 hour.

Heat 2 tsp of oil in a grill pan or kadai and add the marinated chicken pieces. Let the chicken cook for about 6-8 min or until tender.

Now the chicken is cooked.

Now add the onions, red bell pepper, green bell pepper and toss it around for about 3 min. The vegetables should turn little tender, but should be crunchy as well.

Note:

• I have used 3 tsp of red chilli powder, you can adjust the spice according to your taste. The actually recipe calls for only 1 tsp of red chilli powder.
• Usually the chicken is grilled, but I just used the regular pan. If you have a grill pan you can use that as well to cook the chicken.
