π©βπ³ How to make Pepper Chicken without oil
- Marinate the chicken with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, spices, lemon juice and salt for 30 minutes or overnight.
- Heat a non-stick pan well.
- Add curry leaves, green chilli and onion with 2β3 tbsp water. Cook until the onion softens. Add a splash of water whenever it starts sticking.
- Add the marinated chicken and cook on medium-high heat for 5β7 minutes.
- Cover and cook until the chicken is completely cooked and releases its juices.
- Add capsicum and extra crushed pepper. Cook uncovered for 2β3 minutes.
- Finish with coriander and lemon juice.
β My preferred version
Use just Β½β1 tsp oil rather than completely oil-free. It gives better flavour and helps with browning while still keeping the recipe very light.
Advanced prep: Marinate the chicken overnight + chop the vegetables beforehand. At mealtime, you only need to cook everything together.
