Kadai Chicken is a bold and spicy North Indian dish featuring tender chicken cooked with bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and aromatic spices in a traditional wok (kadai).
A popular dish in Punjab, Delhi, Mumbai, and Hyderabad, Kadai Chicken is known for its robust, smoky flavors and thick, semi-dry gravy. The dish gets its name from the Kadai (Indian wok) in which it is cooked, allowing the chicken to absorb deep, rich flavors.
Made with succulent pieces of chicken, this dish is stir-fried with a special blend of roasted coriander seeds, red chilies, garam masala, and fresh ginger-garlic paste. The addition of diced bell peppers (capsicum), onions, and tomatoes gives it a vibrant color and a delicious crunch.
Kadai Chicken is best enjoyed with butter naan, tandoori roti, or jeera rice, making it a favorite at Indian dhabas and restaurants. Its spicy, aromatic taste makes it a must-try for lovers of authentic Indian cuisine!
