Chicken Kali Mirch has become a bit of a staple at my house over the last few months since moving to Nottingham. We've begun to gravitate towards boneless chicken since coming here due to a number of reasons.
The most compelling reason is it's pretty easy to repurpose into a sandwich filling, a wrap, a quesadilla all on short notice making it good for on-the-go breakfasts, quick lunches and just generally to make feeding the kids a bit easier. This and my Hariyali Chicken recipe are now permanent fixtures on my weekly dinner menu!
The simplicity of the ingredient list also translates into simplicity in flavour too - but not the kind of simplicity that has your taste buds crying for a sprinkling of chilli powder and garam masala.
In Pakistani cooking, black pepper often plays but a minor supporting role in a long list of spices. It doesn't often stand on it's own in the spotlight. In this Chicken Kali Mirch, the black pepper pretty much holds down the fort in the best way possible - all the other flavours sit back and allow the black pepper to have its big moment. You will love it. The flavours are bold and mature, yet surprisingly mild enough for some children to enjoy too!
Start by taking an onion, diced finely, and adding it into a wok/karahi style dish with some oil in it. It's important that the onions are diced as finely as possible since it helps ensure they 'melt' into the gravy quicker. This dish doesn't take a long time to cook, so larger pieces of onions won't 'melt' in time. Fry the onions until they begin to turn golden.
Add in the yogurt (full fat, ideally). Stir and fry the entire mixture for 8-10 minutes until the liquid evaporates, the mixture becomes very concentrated and the oil begins to separate around the edges
My personal preference is boneless chicken thigh - it's just so juicy, tender and flavoursome! In the pictures you're seeing in the post, I've used chicken breast and it works fine too, it's just less juicy and more firm than thigh.
My favourite way to serve it is with naan or roti. I also love love love to have it in a sandwich, wrap, paratha roll - it's very non-desi in flavour so it also works pretty decently in salads and pasta too - not that there's anything wrong with a desi flavoured pasta AT ALL ?.
Beautiful was looking for a healthier easy option from my normal mirch chicken takeaway. So simple and easy to make. Mine was more light brown. Will try add something else to darken the colour next time.
I'm sorry to hear that! Sometimes there can be more liquid than expected, possibly from the chicken, yogurt or onions if they're particularly watery. Sometimes there's a different in water content between products depending on where in the world you are.
This came out so beautifully balance and delicious. Incredibly simple to follow, no fancy ingredients everything already in the kitchen cupboards - yet such a different distinct flavour - thank you!
I loved this recipe, like all of your recipes. You have a way of bringing out the nuances in desi cooking and while it may seem like every curry is the same ingredients I follow your recipe to a T and every single one is unique and delicious! Thank you
Hi, I'm Fatima! When I set out to learn Pakistani cooking, I struggled BIG TIME. When I did eventually get the hang of it, I decided to start Fatima Cooks - to help others learn without the struggles I had to go through!

Mix the clay differently to create patterns, marbling effects and different variations of your diyas. You could stack the colors and roll them, roll them into logs first to layer them. Remember the different methods we used for Rainbow Rotis? Roll into a ball the size of a ladoo, a little bit larger than a ping pong.
Oh wow, these are so pretty!!! Very different from the usual wooden painted diyas we see around. The marbled effect is looking okay but the gold is adding such an amazing and classy finish to it. ?
This is so cool I will try and do this at Nirwaans school for Diwali presentation.. is ok if the kids did the gold paint before baking.. I am guessing they will do the baking once they go home..? Any other solution I could use?
Deggi Mirch is a distinctive Indian spice made from a blend of colourful red capsicums and Kashmiri Red Chillies. It adds a mild heat and a deep red-orange colour to soups, Tandoori Chicken and other traditional dishes.
In the north of India, it is liberally added to chicken/vegetable curries, dhals as well as Naan and paratha breads. While in the Southern states, it is often used in kebabs, adding colour and flavour to rice, dhals, Sambhars, soups and stews.
Deggi Mirch is full-flavoured but relatively mild in heat. It is slightly hotter than Paprika but is used more to add colour and taste than heat to dishes. Paprika measures about 500 Scoville units, while deggi mirch is around 1,500 to 2,000 Scoville heat units. When dry, deggi mirch can taste similar to paprika, but when it is fried in oil, the spice comes into its own to give more heat and adds a different flavor to the dish.
Because of the similarity of flavour, you can substitute paprika for deggi mirch in a pinch, but we would suggest using Smoked 'La Vera Pimenton Picante Paprika (that's hot, smoked, paprika to you and me), as normal paprika lacks the intense levels of flavour offered by deggi mirch!
