3 cloves of garlic, minced
1-inch piece of ginger, grated
2 green chilies, chopped (adjust according to your spice preference)

1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder

Cooking oil
Instructions Recipe for Chicken Jalfrezi:
- Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté until they turn golden brown.
- Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies. Stir-fry for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
- Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the onions evenly with the spices.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for a few minutes until they become soft and mushy.
- Add the sliced bell peppers and stir-fry for a couple of minutes, allowing them to retain their crunchiness.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let the chicken and vegetables cook in their own juices for about 10-15 minutes until they are tender and well-cooked.
- Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for a few more minutes to allow the excess moisture to evaporate and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Sprinkle garam masala over the dish and mix well. Cook for another minute.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves.
