Chicken Kadai

Chicken Kadai is made by stir-cooking chicken pieces with a blend of freshly ground spices, tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers. The dish is typically dry to semi-gravy in texture and is known for its bold use of spices like coriander, cumin, garam masala, and dried red chilies. Fresh ginger, garlic, and green chilies add to its depth of flavor.

The tomatoes are often cooked down until they form a thick, rich base that clings to the chicken, while the capsicum (bell peppers) are added toward the end to retain a bit of crunch. It's usually garnished with fresh cilantro and julienned ginger.
