Green Peppercorn Chicken Fry

Ahem! I'm back! :) I thought it would take weeks or months to get the computers fixed, but my husband (who is a lazy guy) spent a whole day to get them fixed!!! Half day was spent in buying the hardware parts and half day spent in setting them up. Okay, today's recipe is green peppercorn chicken (which is good for people suffering from cold). Although, green peppers aren't available here, my relative from Bangalore sent it to me as a gift.

Ingredients:
Chicken - 3/4 kg
Onions (medium) - 5
Ginger - 2 inches
Garlic (small) - 10 cloves
Cinnamon - 1 inch
Fennel seeds - 1/2 tsp.
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp.
Black peppercorns - 5
Green peppercorns - 3 medium sprigs
Green cardamom seeds - 2
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp.
Salt
Oil
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Coriander leaves (chopped) - 2 tbsp.

Green Peppercorns

Method:
Cut the chicken into bite-size pieces.
Grind ginger, garlic, cinnamon, green cardamom, fennel seeds, cumin, green and black peppers.
Marinate the chicken with ground paste along with salt, chili powder, turmeric powder and curry leaves. Keep aside.
Chop the onions.
Heat oil in a kadai and add the onion pieces.
Sauté till it changes color. Now add the marinated chicken pieces and start to fry.
Cover the kadai and cook the chicken by stirring in between.
When the chicken turns tender, remove the lid and sauté till the chicken becomes dry.
Enjoy as a side dish for chapathi or for biryani.
