KADAI CHICKEN – AN EASY AND FLAVORFUL CHICKEN CURRY

kadai chicken is a spicy and flavorful Indian chicken recipe with spices and bell peppers. Kadai chicken curry is an easy and simple side dish for chapati.

How to make the kadai chicken recipe?

Traditionally, Kadai chicken recipe is made by roasting and grinding the spices. It is a thick chicken curry flavored with spices, onion, tomato and bell peppers. Bell peppers give an excellent flavor and aroma to the curry. Kadai chicken is a popular chicken curry that you can find in many Dhaba restaurants, and it goes well with chapati or roti. I used the garam masala in this recipe that tastes and smells same to the Kadai chicken masala. 

Smart Cooking Tips:

1. I used red bell pepper in this recipe; you can use any variety of bell pepper. Avoid overcooking the bell pepper, it should be slightly crunchy.

2. You can use tomato puree instead of fresh tomatoes. But make sure to cook until the tomato puree loses its raw tomato smell. Otherwise, the Kadai chicken gravy smells raw tomato.

3. You can make fresh Kadai chicken masala powder at home by roasting and grinding the spices.

4. I added yogurt to the curry that gives a creamy texture to the curry. You can skip adding the yogurt or replace the yogurt with heavy cream.

5. You can use any part of the chicken in this recipe. Chicken with bones makes a flavorful curry. 

A flavorful recipe for whole chicken:

Kadai chicken is a flavorful recipe using the whole chicken. Whenever I buy a whole chicken, people in the shops ask me how do you use it other than making soups. I always prefer buying whole chicken because I make chicken curries and gravies often. You can use any part of the chicken in this curry except chicken skin, even chicken livers, and gizzards. In fact, chicken with bones make a flavorful curry, but it takes an extra time to cook compared to boneless chicken.
