Ginger

1 inch, grated

Green chili

1-2, slit lengthwise (adjust to taste)

Chicken breast

1 pound, cut into bite-sized pieces

Bell peppers

2, sliced (any color)

Tomatoes

2 large, chopped

Salt

Instructions

1. Heat cooking oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chili. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until they are no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
5. Incorporate the sliced bell peppers and chopped tomatoes, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
6. Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the chicken and vegetables evenly with the spices.
7. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.
8. Once cooked, sprinkle garam masala over the top and give it a final stir to combine.
9. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
