As promised to you earlier, here I am today, with the recipe which secured 2nd position in Sufi's Master Chef Competition. This recipe was submitted by Ms. Kiran Razzak and I must say this was one delicious dish!
It was delicious, creamy and had a crunchy texture due to capsicum.
Butter rice added appeal and interest to the dish and resulted in a very flavorful combination.
However, for me, this dish lost few points due to the amount of seasonings used. I personally like spicy food so I added little more chilies to enhance the flavor. But over all it was a nice and easy recipe with good flavors.
Here is the recipe with my suggested alterations in notes:
Ingredients:
1. Chicken (skinless/boneless 1/2 kg)
2. Capsicum (2, cut in cubes)
3. Onion (2, finely chopped)

7. Cream (4 tbsp)
8. Crushed black pepper (1/2 tsp)
