Chicken Pepper Chops

Thinking of chicken chops!!! Trying to order out from a restaurant, i would say a big no no to that idea. All can do delicious, yummy chicken chops at home. Why to spend money on restaurant when you can do it in chef's way.



Chicken is high in proteins, it also has fat which yields oil while cooking. This chicken pepper chops goes well with paratha, dosa, steamed rice and anything you like. Here i use boneless chicken. You can even use chicken with bones. Bones when cooked gives a unique taste. So let's start. Here's how i do chicken pepper chops.

Ingredients:

Chicken - 500 gms
Onion - 1 big (chopped)
Tomato - 1 big (chopped)
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Red chili powder - 3 tsp
Turmeric powder - pinch
Cumin powder - 1 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 1/2 tsp
Pepper powder - 2 -3 tsp
Cloves - 3 nos
Cinnamon - 1 inch stick
Coriander leaves - Chopped (garnish)
Oil - As required
Water - as required


Method:

1) Cut chicken into medium size pieces. Clean and wash at-least 3 times to remove stains from it.

2) To this chopped and clean chicken add ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder mix weel and keep it aside for min 20 - 30 mins.

3) You can use pan or pressure cooker to cook. Here i use pressure cooker. So heat the pressure cooker on medium heat.

4) Add 2 tsp oil, to this add cloves, cinnamon stick and saute for 1 min or until you get the aroma. Now add chopped onions, once saute add chopped tomatoes.

5) Once the tomatoes are smashed nicely, add marinated chicken, mix well and let it cook for few more mins.

6) Now add chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder and salt as required.

7) Place the cooker lid upside down on the cooker and let it boil for 2 mins.

8) Mix it once again, add 1/2 to 1 cup water and pressure cook it until 1 whistle and put in simmer for 5 mins.

9) Now remove cooker from flame, wait until pressure released. Transfer the content to a pan, without closing the lid let it boil in simmer.

10) Now add pepper powder, chopped coriander leaves and in 1 min turn off the stove.

11) Yummy, delicious restaurant style chicken pepper chops is ready. Enjoy with your friends and family...



Note:

1) Use of freshly prepared pepper powder give a good flavor.

2) If your chicken has too much fat in it, minimize the oil amount you use.

3) After pressure cooking, heating again in pan is to bring out all oil trapped within chicken. You will see the oil on the top.

4) Adjust to your spice level with pepper powder.
