  2. Add julienne-cut ginger and sauté until translucent.

Step 2: Add Chicken & Chilies

  1. Now add chopped green chilies and chicken pieces. Cook until the chicken changes color.

Step 3: Add Spices

  1. Add red chili powder, black pepper, salt, paprika, and turmeric. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

Step 4: Cook with Tomatoes

Step 5: Add Bell Peppers & Onions

  2. Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves. Simmer for 8–9 minutes on low flame.

Step 6: Final Touch
