How to Make Chicken In A Red Sweet Pepper Sauce
- Combine 1 large onion, 1 inch ginger (grated), 2 cloves garlic (minced), ½ cup blanched almonds, 2 large red bell peppers (roughly chopped), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, ½ teaspoon turmeric, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor or blender.
- Blend until you have a completely smooth paste, adding a little water if needed.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large, wide non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
- Pour in the blended paste and cook, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes, or until the oil begins to separate and form tiny bubbles around the edges.
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces), ½ cup water, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir a few times during cooking.
- Serve hot with rice or naan bread.
