Murgh Kalimirch

I have exhausted my recipe stash in the last one year of pretty much eating every meal at home. In my eternal search for something new I stumbled upon this delicious recipe which has a ton of black pepper in it.  It worked out great for a cold evening. The original recipe is here  . If you want a dry stir fried curry here is another black pepper chicken recipe
