Ingredients

  • 1 Red bell pepper
  • 1 Green bell pepper
  • 1 medium Red Onion
  • 1.1 lbs Chicken
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 1 tsp garlic paste
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri chili powder or paprika
  • 1/3 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 green chili
  • Cilantro

Instructions

  • Wash, deseed, and cut bell peppers into 1-inch cubes. Peel and cut the onion into cubes of the same size.
  • Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes.
  • Heat oil in a wok or a pan, then sauté ginger and garlic paste for about 1 minute.
  • Add chicken and cook on high heat. For about 3-4 minutes, once the color changes, add salt, turmeric, coriander powder, red chili, Kashmiri chili, and black pepper. Mix it well and cook until everything is well combined.
  • Add tomato sauce and mix it well. Lower the heat, cover, and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Now, add tomato ketchup and soy sauce. Mix it well
  • At the end, add cubed red and green bell peppers and onions. We want to keep the vegetables crunchy, so cook them for only 1 minute on high heat while stirring constantly.
  • Garnish with green chilies and cilantro
