Kadai chicken
Kadai chicken
Kadai chicken is a popular Indian dish that originated in North India. It is a flavorful and spicy chicken curry that is typically cooked in a thick tomato-based gravy with a blend of aromatic spices. The chicken is cooked with onions, bell peppers, and a special spice mix called kadai masala, which gives the dish its distinctive flavor. It is often garnished with fresh coriander leaves and served with naan bread or rice.

- 2 bell peppers (capsicum), cut into thick strips
- 4 tomatoes pureed

- 2 teaspoons kadai masala (you can find it at an Indian grocery store or make your own using a mix of spices like coriander, cumin, fennel, cloves, and black peppercorns)
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust as per your spice tolerance)
