How to cook?
First, wash the meat well and drain the water.
Now marinate the meat well with ginger paste, garlic paste, sour yogurt, black pepper powder, salt, and a little oil.
When the oil is hot in the pan, add ginger-garlic and stir lightly.
When the ginger-garlic is fried, add the crushed black pepper to it.
After frying lightly, add the chopped onion to the pan.
Finally, pour the marinated meat into the pan.
Keep stirring well. When it starts releasing oil, add one cup of warm water, salt, and sugar. Wait for ten minutes.
As the meat is getting cooked, roast some kasoori methi in the pan, powder it, and sprinkle it.
This will enhance both the taste and aroma of the cooking. Turn off the gas and keep the pan covered for a while.
Serve the pepper chicken with hot rice on a winter afternoon.
