Pepper Chicken dry | Pepper Chicken recipe

When my uncle came last week  I wanted to prepare something out of border from our traditional way of preparing gravies and curry and an usual method of preparing chicken kebab/65 as dry item. So I felt best choice would be Cardamom chicken (gravy) and Pepper chicken (dry) in restaurant style. This recipe I got from one of my friend's father, where he got from a hotel. Its so simple to make a dry item of chicken. My uncle who had come is a perfect critic of non-veg foods and I got the compliment its perfect and tasty. So wanted to share with a step wise pictures and I can also pin this for future reference.

Note:

• I add half garlic with skin to get a fine flavor, you can also peel off and use them.
• Instead of using pepper powder you can add 1 tsp of pepper while roasting and grind to use.
• If you find the chicken get sticking with pan, then sprinkle little water and keep mixing. DO NOT pour water.
• Adding green chillies gives a better flavor compared to red chillies.
• Salt and spice can be adjusted according to your taste.
