Pepper Masala Chicken

I have this crazy desire to make different kinds of chicken dishes every time. I change one or the other ingredient every time to see if I can come up with a new dish. Most of the times they all taste almost same even though I switch around something. V loves spicy chicken, so few weeks ago I tried this spicy pepper masala chicken. It reminded me of our days in Bangalore when we loved to eat at Andhra restaurants. I served it with simple spinach dal and rice. It was a very comforting meal.

Pictorial:
Fry onions and ginger-garlic paste.

Add all the dry masalas and fry for few minutes.

Add tomatoes and cook till they are mushy. Then add marinated chicken. Cook till done.
