Chicken Kadai Masala is a popular Indian dish where chicken is cooked with a blend of spices known as "kadai masala." The name "kadai" refers to the traditional Indian wok-like cooking vessel in which the dish is prepared.The dish is prepared by first marinating chicken pieces in a mixture of yogurt and spices such as turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. The marinated chicken is then cooked with onions, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and green chilies in a kadai or a regular pan until the chicken is tender and the flavors have melded together.The kadai masala is a key component of this dish and is made by dry roasting and grinding together spices like coriander seeds, cumin seeds, dried red chilies, peppercorns, and fenugreek seeds. This masala is added to the chicken along with bell peppers (capsicum) and sometimes kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) for added flavor.Chicken Kadai Masala is typically garnished with fresh coriander leaves and is best enjoyed with rice, naan, or roti. The dish has a rich and robust flavor with a perfect balance of spices, making it a favorite in Indian cuisine.
