Curry Leaf Pepper Chicken

This is a spicy and flavorful chicken recipe, the freshly ground pepper and the curry leaves make this chicken even more flavorful. I have already posted a pepper chicken masala recipe and this is another chicken recipe that we love. I saw vahchef making this recipe and I wanted to try it out. This goes well with roti or dosa or any variety rice.

Notes
1. Use freshly ground pepper, it gives a lovely flavor and aroma. You can use a mortar and pestle or a blender to grind the pepper corns.
2. Pepper chicken is meant to be a spicy dish, if you don't prefer spice then reduce the red chilli powder.

Until next time,
