PEPPER CHICKEN FRY VARIATIONS

  • I used skinless bone-in chicken for this recipe. You can use skinless, boneless chicken.
  • For pepper chicken, I prefer using sesame oil, which gives extra flavour to the dish. But, today, used vegetable oil and is purely optional.
  • As I made rotis and rice for my lunch, I wanted a slight thick pepper chicken fry consistency that goes well with both. So, I added tomatoes to it that give body to the dish.

You can serve this delicious pepper chicken fry with any flatbread, piping hot rice, and any flavoured rice like pulao, biriyani, jeera rice, and many more varieties. It is the best sides dish for all rice varieties and rotis.
