Kali Mirch Chicken is a quick and easy Pakistani curry in which boneless pieces of chicken are cooked in a black pepper sauce. The kick from the black pepper makes this dish so moreish. And even a beginner can nail this no-fuss recipe.

My Dad makes some amazing dishes and one of them is his this Kali Mirch Chicken. Away from him, I always miss this and his finger-licking saag. I have never even tried to master the saag but I did manage to get this dish pretty close to his.

This is one of the easiest and also the healthiest of dinnertime curries in my opinion. It does not require tons of oil to cook like most South Asian curries do.

The best part, there is no chopping involved except where you might have to cut the chicken if you are using boneless breast fillets. You can always use bone-in chicken too.

Kali Mirch Chicken is full of flavour and subtle heat from the black pepper. This dish gets ready within 30 minutes with minimum effort.

    Great recipe.

    The only thing I would add is about the oil. As you say 4 tbsp. I tried converting taht to grams and ended up with too much oil. Note however I was using a really pure organic ghee. The next time I used half the calculated amount and it was fine...
