Spicy black pepper chicken gravy goes well with roti, rice or idli or dosa too. This spicy chicken curry tastes super delicious and very peppery.
I have shared a few varieties of pepper chicken and mutton recipes here. But I haven’t shared the pepper chicken gravy which we simply love. I make this all the time. So here it is. It is not at all hard to make, it is super easy to make and taste simply amazing.
