About Pepper Chicken Dry Recipe
Now coming back to today's recipe, it is a chicken recipe and my favorite one. I have already posted chinese style pepper chicken recipe in my blog before. This is my Indian version of it. It has lots of Indian masala and stuffs in it. I love this one when served with naan or hot rice.
Chicken cooked in sauted onions, spices, green chillies, curry leaves and crushed black pepper which gives the unique taste and colour to the pepper chicken. Pepper chicken is a dark brown coloured dry dish usually served with rice, roti or naan.

The curry is made with Onions which are sliced thinly, green chillies, curry leaves as the base.
Chicken
I prefer to use one whole chicken which is cut into small pieces. Bone-in chicken results in juicy and tender chicken dish. But if you want you could use boneless chicken thighs.
Spices
The predominant flavor in a pepper chicken is black pepper. Use freshly roasted, coarsely ground black pepper for maximum flavour. I dry roast whole peppercorns for 2 to 3 minutes and allow them to cool. Grind them in a food processor or mortar and pestle till coarse. Add ground pepper only in the end of the cooking.
