  • ¼ cup tomato puree
  • 2-3 tsp kadai masala
  • salt to taste
  • ½ tsp red chili powder
  • ¾ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 medium red onion, cubed
  • 1 small green bell pepper, cubed
  • 1 tsp ghee
  • ½ tsp oil
Instructions

  2. Now add salt, red chili powder, and half of the ginger garlic paste to the chicken and set it aside for 15 mins
  3. In a kadai/Wok, heat the ghee and oil. Add the marinated chicken and let it cook covered for a few mins.
  4. At this time, add a little salt, kadai masala, and turmeric powder. Stir in the chicken for a couple of mins
  5. Once it is roasted, add tomato puree and mix well. Let it stir again, then add julienned ginger.
  6. Turn the heat all the way to low or turn it off, and now add yogurt. Mix well and let it cook, until you see the separation of the oil.
  7. Add slit chili, green bell peppers, and onions, mix it, and add a very little water. Cover and let it cook for 5 mins.
  8. Uncover the kadai and make sure that it is not too watery. Kadai chicken should be a thick gravy.
