Ingredients:

• 500 grams boneless chicken, cut into pieces
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 2 tomatoes, finely chopped
• 2 green bell peppers, cut into cubes
• 3-4 green chilies, slit
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 2 tablespoons Kadai masala powder (available in Indian grocery stores)
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
• 1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 3 tablespoons oil
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

3. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy.

4. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes.

5. Add Kadai masala powder and mix it with the spices. Cook for another 2 minutes to release the flavors.

6. Add the chicken pieces to the kadai and mix well, ensuring that the chicken is coated evenly with the masala. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. Add 1/2 cup of water, cover the kadai, and let the chicken cook on low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until it is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally and add more water if required.

8. Once the chicken is cooked, add the cubed green bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crunchy.

9. Sprinkle garam masala powder and fresh coriander leaves over the kadai chicken. Mix well and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

10. Remove from heat and serve hot with naan, roti, or rice.
