Chicken stir fry with carrot and green pepper added to it, cooked till golden brown, tasted delicious…
Nothing fancy, a simple yet delicious chicken stir fry recipe with the addition of shredded carrot and green pepper. Shredded carrot and green pepper made this stir fry taste really good and I cooked till chicken and veggies turned golden brown. I served this with folded parathas or goes well with chapatis or pooris.

Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the chicken with the above mentioned ingredients "to marinate the chicken" and keep aside for 15 minutes.
- Place a non-stick pan over medium heat, when the pan turns hot add oil.
- Add whole cardamom, cloves, cinnamon and bay leaves to hot oil and saute for a few seconds.
- Add onions and curry leaves, season with salt and cook the onions till they turn translucent.

- Add the marinated chicken, combine well and cook covered till chicken has almost cooked.
- Add turmeric powder, chili powder, coriander powder, fennel powder and salt to taste. Combine well.
