Pepper Chicken with Curry Leaves is a flavorful and aromatic dish that combines the bold flavors of black pepper and the fragrant essence of curry leaves. Here's a simple recipe to make Pepper Chicken with Curry Leaves:

Ingredients:

- 500 grams chicken pieces (bone-in or boneless)

- 2 tablespoons oil (preferably coconut oil for authentic flavor)

- 1 onion, finely chopped

- 2 tomatoes, finely chopped

- 2 green chilies, slit lengthwise

- 10-12 curry leaves

- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste

- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed

- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

- 1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)

- Salt to taste

- Chopped coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

    - In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, crushed black peppercorns, and salt. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Heat Oil and Sauté Aromatics:

    - Heat oil in a pan or skillet over medium heat.

    - Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent and golden brown.

    - Add slit green chilies and curry leaves to the pan. Sauté for a minute to release their flavors.

3. Add Tomatoes and Spices:

    - Add chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy, and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

    - Stir in turmeric powder and continue to cook for another minute to enhance the flavors.

4. Cook the Chicken:

    - Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan. Mix well to coat the chicken with the aromatic onion-tomato mixture.

    - Cover the pan and cook the chicken over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and cooked through. The chicken should absorb the flavors of the spices and aromatics.

5. Garnish and Serve:

    - Once the chicken is cooked, check for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if needed.

    - Garnish with chopped coriander leaves for freshness and color.

    - Serve hot with steamed rice, roti, or bread of your choice.

Enjoy the robust and aromatic flavors of Pepper Chicken with Curry Leaves, a delightful dish that pairs well with both rice and bread. Adjust the level of spiciness according to your taste preferences.
