Hot N Spicy Pepper Garlic Chicken

This Recipe is completely my Mom-in-law's. Ofcourse she cooks all the recipes with a spicy touch. Its one of my favourite recipes of her's. It is a Mouth watering hot and spicy chicken side dish. The Whole Pepper is twisted in Garlic and renders a delicious flavour. Let's see how to prepare.

Ingredients:

• Boneless Chicken - 1/2 kg
• Big Onion - 1 large
• Peppercorns - 2 tbsp(Do avoid Pepper powder)
• Green chilli - 2 medium size or 1 big size
• Garlic - 10 pods big size(Do avoid Garlic paste)
• Cinnamon stick - 1 inch
• Cardamom - 1 no
• Turmeric - 1 tsp
• Curry leaves - 2 sprig
• Coriander leaves fistful

Cooking Method:

• Take a pressure pan add onions and cardamom fry till brown, add the ground masala and turmeric powder fry till raw smell leaves. 
• Now add the chicken pieces and saute nicely.
• Add water and required salt. cook well up to 4 whistles. 
• Open the lid and u will notice some water in it. 
• Reduce the water quantity by keeping in medium flame.
• Stir often so that it may not get burnt.
• Now the pepper is very well twisted with this garlic chicken and provides spiciness.
• If you want gravy just switch off in gravy consistency.
• Or if you prefer dry pepper chicken wait for some more time till the water completely reduced. Anyways it will be in slightly gravy texture( I prefer only this dry chicken).
• Garnish with enough coriander leaves. It gives a nice flavour.

It goes well with Rotis, Chappathi's and especially with Rice Varieties or even as side for Chicken Biryani.

Notes:

• Whole Pepper corns gives a nice aroma to this Garlic Chicken. Usage of Pepper powder differs the good taste of the whole recipe.
• Use whole Garlic pods. Avoid Garlic paste. 
• If you need more gravy increase the Pepper and Garlic quantity.
