    Recipe Tips

    1. Marination of chicken in kali mirch powder helps to penetrate the flavor in chicken that make it more tasty and delicious.
    2. Avoid any other mirch powder if you are using kali mirch as a primary pepper otherwise, the taste will be lost. You may add green pepper if you like.
    3. Once you add marinated chicken in oil then cook on high heat so the chicken will be more juicy and tender from inside.
    4. A combination of black pepper / Kali mirch with Julianne ginger makes it more delicious and tasty.
    5. If you want to skip cream in this recipe then you can. The addition of cream in gravy makes it more tasty and delicious but if you are on diet or want to avoid then you can skip as per your interest and taste.

    Serving Suggestions

    Black pepper chicken can be served with Naan, Garlic Naan, Roti or Paratha. You can also serve steamed rice, tadka rice or my special garlic butter rice. In salads, you can serve simple veg salad, macaroni salad, chickpea salad or rajma salad.

    In addons, you can serve shami kabab, chutney, baked fries, or roasted carrots. It's all about taste and you can make variation as per your taste and availability of ingredients.

    Q & A

    How To Serve Black Pepper Chicken?

    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.

    Is Chicken Kali Mirch is Good For Health?

    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.

    Can I store Chicken Black Pepper and For How Long?

    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.
