Cook until the raw smell disappears. 4️⃣ ADD THE CHICKEN Add 800g curry-cut chicken. Mix and stir very well so the chicken gets coated with the onion and spice mixture. Add salt and cook for a few minutes. 5️⃣ SLOW COOK THE CHICKEN Add approximately ½ cup water, mix well and cover with a lid. Cook for about 6–7 minutes on medium heat until the chicken is cooked through. 6️⃣ ADD THE ANDHRA PEPPER MASALA Now add: • Three Mango Chilli Powder • Garam masala powder • Fresh curry leaves • 1½–2 tsp of the freshly prepared Andhra pepper masala Mix everything really well. Continue cooking on low heat so the chicken slowly absorbs all the flavours and the masala coats the chicken beautifully. 7️⃣ FINAL FINISH Add freshly chopped coriander leaves. Give everything a final good mix and continue slow cooking until the chicken becomes beautifully coated with the spicy pepper masala and the oil starts to separate. 🔥 Your Andhra Pepper Chicken Fry is ready! 🍚 BEST WAY TO SERVE This spicy Andhra Pepper Chicken Fry tastes amazing with: • Hot steamed rice • Andhra-style Baghara Rice • Dal & Rice • Plain rice with ghee • As a spicy chicken starter The combination of spicy pepper chicken and hot steamed rice is absolutely delicious! ❤️🔥 💡 PRO TIP: For the best flavour, don’t replace the freshly roasted pepper masala with ready-made pepper powder.
