Q & A
Serve this delicious and aromatic chicken kali mirch with roti and tandoori naan that makes a perfect combination. Many people like it with steam or jeera rice but I personally like it with naan or kulcha. If you are serving lunch then try with paratha.
You can also add a fresh green salad or thick yogurt raita along with this. I make green raita and simply serve with naan bread or homemade roti/chappati.
Yes, it's good for health as it's cooked with chicken that is a great source of protein. Yogurt is also good for health as it contains essential vitamins and minerals that helps to improve your digestive health. Black pepper / Kali mirch itself packed with piperine with antioxidant and inflammatory properties. It improves blood sugar control, also helps to manage cholesterol levels.
Yes, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 week. I personally suggest consuming it before 1 week. Once you pack in an airtight container make sure to release heat (room temperature) before pack.
