Kadhai chicken - Quick fry chicken

This is like a quick Indian stir-fry chicken. Can be served with rice or bread depending on what you feel like.


2 chicken breasts (boneless - skinless) - cut into strips
2 TBS plain yogurt
1 cup yellow onion - sliced lengthwise
1/2 cup tomato - chopped
1/2 cup bell peppers - sliced
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp red chili powder (cayenne)
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 TBS chopped coriander leaves (cilantro)
2 -3 TBS oil


prep: marinate the sliced chicken in the yogurt for 15-20 minutes

In a saute pan, heat the oil and fry the onions for 3-4 minutes. Add the tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, chili powder and garam masala. Fry for 3-4 minutes - till you can smell the masala.
Add the marinated chicken - and fry for a few minutes. Add the sliced peppers and salt and cover and cook for about 10 minutes till the chicken is cooked. If required you can add a couple of tablespoons of water, but not too much- we want to keep this dry.
Check that the chicken is cooked, adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with the chopped cilantro and serve with rice or bread.
