This Pepper Chicken Fry builds flavour in layers, starting with a slow-toasted spice mix, moving into a coconut-rich paste, and finishing with a pepper-heavy gravy that clings to every piece of chicken. The tamarind cuts through the heat, giving the dish a festive balance ideal for Christmas spreads or winter dinners.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Toast the spices

Heat oil in a non-stick pan and add the caraway seeds, peppercorns, star anise, cardamoms, cinnamon, cloves and coriander seeds. Let them warm gently so the aroma lifts without burning. Add curry leaves, garlic, ginger, and onion. Cook till the onion softens, and everything smells warm and nutty.
