Chicken and Capsicum garnished with boiled Egg

This is a dish which mum rustled up one day. I think it will go very well with the pulao I posted earlier.

 

Ingredients:

• 500gms, boneless chicken
• One big capsicum or two small capsicums (green bell pepper)
• Two medium size onions
• Two tomatoes
• One boiled egg
• 5or 6 cloves garlic
• One tablespoon ginger paste

Method:

• Cut chicken into pieces and boil the chicken
• Dice the capsicums
• Chop the onions into cubes
• Chop one tomato and leave aside the other tomato. It will be later used for garnishing the dish
• Finely chop garlic
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or vessel of your choice
• Add chopped tomato, onions, ginger paste, finely chopped garlic and salt to taste. At this stage, you may if you so desire, add a pinch of turmeric powder. Stir fry a bit
• Add the chicken. Stir well and add a little water. Cover and cook till water evaporates
• Just before removing from flame add capsicum and a teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• You may add chilli powder instead of ground black pepper
• However black pepper imparts a flavour which is quite different from chilli powder
• Remove from heat and pour out in a serving dish and garnish with boiled egg and tomato. Carve a flower out of the tomato as shown in photo
