Black Pepper Chicken (Kali Merchi ka salan)

Been sometime since I last posted anything, close to 8 years to be precise!
Circumstances and bachelors life has forced me back into the kitchen (for better or worse). and here again another recipe!

Black Pepper chicken:

Ingredients:
- 1 chicken cut into pieces (1000 gm or so)
- 2 medium sized onions
- 2 handfuls of coriander leaves
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp. ginger & garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tbsp. black pepper powder (you can add more later if you want it more spicy or more hint of black pepper)
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Direction
1. In a grinder the onions and coriander leaves into a smooth batter with a bit of water.
2. Heat the oil and add to it the ginger & garlic paste and sauté for a mintue or two until the raw smell goes away then add to it the grinder onion and coriander leaves and add to it the coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt and the black pepper powder and cook for two minutes then add the chicken and let it cook. 3. After the chicken is thoroughly cooked add the lemon juice and garam masala and serve hot with either rootie or rice.

Side note, you can add water if you want it more watery and you can add yoghurt if you wish to make it more thick gravy. 

p.s. I got the recipe from my sister.
