Servings

In a bowl, mix chicken with ginger garlic paste, yogurt, crushed and ground black pepper, cumin powder, and salt.
Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan, add butter, then add the marinated chicken.
Cook on medium heat until the chicken changes color and releases its juices.
Add the cream and mix well.
Add chopped capsicum and sauté for a minute.
Cover and let it simmer for a few minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and flavors are well combined.
Garnish with fresh coriander, julienned ginger, green chilies, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Enjoy! Serve hot with naan or roti.

Use freshly crushed black pepper for the best flavor — pre-ground powder works but freshly crushed is much more aromatic and gives the dish its signature bite
Do not overcook the chicken — boneless chicken cubes cook quickly. Once they are no longer pink and the cream has thickened, the dish is done
The red button chilies are completely optional — skip them for a milder dish or add more if you like extra heat
Use full fat yogurt for the creamiest result — low fat yogurt can make the gravy watery
Capsicum adds a nice fresh crunch — add it at the end so it stays slightly firm and does not turn mushy
This dish is great for kids as it has heat from pepper but no red chili — adjust pepper to taste for younger ones
Garnish generously — the fresh ginger, green chilies, coriander, and lemon at the end are not just decorative, they add a lot of fresh flavor
