      Hello Thomas,
      As such you can double the recipe, if you prefer less gravy then follow the same recipe with 1 kg chicken with 2 additional green chili + 2 teaspoon coriander powder + 1 teaspoon black pepper powder. If you can handle spicy, include about 1/2 teaspoon plain red chili powder. Adding 1 more onion will get you more masala on the side. Hope this helps. Thanks!

    Hi Mullai,

    I tried this recipe and turned out little sweet. I used yellow onions (not the sweet ones) for cooking. Can you please tell me the reason ? I would really appreciate if I get an answer.

    Thanks a lot for the wonderful recipes

      Ambi,

      May be you used too much tomato or chicken, thats my guess.  The spice level mentioned ( 2 green chilies and 2 tsp pepper powder along with chili powder) should be perfect for 1/2 kg chicken. Adjust accordingly and you should be good. Apart from that I don't see anything which could possible go wrong.

      Thanks.

    Hi Mullai, I stumbled into your site looking for idli recipe. I have to say your site is like a treasure box . All the recipes are so authentic and traditional. Kudos to you on sharing and maintaining such a great website. I have tried the Pepper chicken recipe yesterday and it was delicious. My husband and kids loved it. They were saying it's heavenly 🙂 I don't use fennel seeds that often , I think that really gave a new taste to the curry. I'll keep trying more of your recipes. The photo links for some of the ingredients really helps. Thanks a lot! Priya

    Hi Mullai
    Im a great fan of your amazing recipes.You are doing a good job and we get to learn some of them.
    In this recipe when i made the second time,became little sweet.Im not sure what went wrong.
    Can you help.

    Thanks

      Dear Maha,

       This is supposed to be very spicy, and there is no way for it to become sweet. Tomatoes onion ratio is also less which won't make it sweet. Try using fresh ground black pepper, store bought powders are very mild and may not suit for this recipe. Apart from that I don't see anything at all to go wrong. Better luck next time.

      may be bcoz u might have used more cardomom and cinnomon. i also had same problem , so i guess its bcoz of that only..

    I have been referring youe site regularly and it is in my
    favorites list…

    Your receipes are simply ‘SUPERB’…

        Just curious to know whether you have done any course on cooking ?
        basically how do you cook so well ?
        from your mom ?? which part of india are u from ?

        1. Mullai

          Jothi,

          I am just a home cook, didn't go for any cooking class. I try all the family recipes passed on to me, learned some from my friends and relatives. Whenever I happened to taste something new, never hesitated to ask for the recipe, at least would get an general outline and work on it. Of course it takes quite a lot of attempts before the recipes make there way here.  Still in the process of learning….

          1. Jothi

            Oh ..Good…I asked that because I saw some pattern in your receipes…so thought u did ur degree in that line …
            anyway , thanks for the info…
