PEPPER CHICKEN FRY VARIATIONS

  • 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.
