Sauté, stirring constantly, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add half of spice powder. Sauté, stirring constantly, for another minute or until fragrant.

  • Add remaining spice powder, garam masala and bell peppers (capsicum). Cook, covered, for 3-4 minutes or until chicken is very tender. Remove from heat. Garnish with coriander (cilantro) leaves.
