Murgh Kali Mirch is also known as Kali Mirch Ka Murgh, which means Black pepper chicken. This chicken dish is one of the most popular and flavourful side dish which you can have with anything. Serve this fingerlicking goodness chicken curry with some flaky parathas or else as side to serve along with simple pulao or fried rice, you can enjoy this lipsmacking chicken without any guilt. Its been a while i have posted a non vegetarian dish in my space, dunno why i kept postponing to post non vegetarian dishes in my space. Eventhough i do cook varieties of non vegetarian dishes especially on sundays, i forget to click them hence i have been delaying in posting non vegetarian dishes in my blog. Few days back, i got a message from a fellow follower asking me to post a chicken based dish. Obviously how can i stop myself posting a chicken curry, hence today's post is this extremely delicious spicy chicken curry.
While i googled for this lipsmacking chicken curry, i crossed this video from Youtube and i immediately fell in love with this black pepper chicken roast. With simple ingredients, this delicious chicken dish calls for cashew paste, yes you heard it rite. When marinated chicken pieces gets cooked in cashew paste spiced with garam masala powder,cumin powder, roasted kasuri methi powder and pepper powder makes this lipsmacking dish. Chopped onions and ginger garlic paste is a must, no tomato is needed, hence this dish gets a super caramelized texture because of the onions. Chicken are good source of proteins, when vegetarians stick with beans for this protein source, non vegetarians goes for chicken and boiled eggs. Since am running a month of blogging marathon with protein rich dishes as theme, i couldnt stop myself posting this lipsmacking Murgh Kali Mirch.

The presentation looks awesome Priya, very inviting..the flavours must have added to the taste much!
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of it, kali mirch makes it more interesting.
ReplyDeleteNo one would have guessed that there is no tomato in this curry. Like the melange of spices and nuts. I can imagine making this with paneer.

ReplyDeleteIt looked to me as if you fried the chicken before you added it to the gravy that is how well the masala is coated!!
