Garlic-Pepper Chicken

This is really easy & quick to make. #Busy people food really! hahaha....

It's something refreshing and crunchy & healthy too ( Since you can cook it in very less oil).

Friends this is really yummy! My family complimented me a lot on this and even compared it to tandoori chicken.

You can have it as a starter or with roti or parathas!

Ingredients:-

750 grams of chicken

300 grams of curd

20 - 25 garlic pods made into a paste

1 tsp of Kashmiri lal chilly powder to get red colour( optional)

Pepper powder- 2 tbsp

Garam masala: (2-3 bay leaves; 4-5 green cardamoms; 1 inch cinnamon stick and 1 tsp of Shahjeera)

2 tablespoons of fresh cream

Salt and sugar according to your taste.

Procedure:-

-Marinate the chicken overnight with curd, garlic paste, chilli powder and salt.. 

-Put only 1 tbsp of sunflower oil in pan 

-Add the bay leaf and other garam masalas I mentioned above

-Crush these whole spices a bit to get a nice flavour.

-When these spices starts spluttering in the oil add the marinated chicken and cook it on a low flame till it gets dried.

-It will take around 30 mins. Now add the dairy cream and pepper powder and cook it for another 5 mins.
