Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless chicken

Gravy
- 1 number onion(large size)
- 1 number capsicum(medium size)
- 2 teaspoons garlic (crushed / paste)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (crushed / paste)
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon chilli powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon pepper powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala

- 1 sprig curry leaves

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients - Clean and cut chicken into small 1 inch bite-size pieces. Clean and cut broccoli into florets. Cut each floret into the half. Cut onion and capsicum into thin slices. Crush garlic and ginger well, or make it a paste.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add onion and salt. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
- Then, add capsicum. Saute it well until onion turns light brownish color.
- Add ginger and garlic and saute well.
- Add turmeric powder, chili powder, pepper powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Add oil as needed to fry the masala.
- Add chicken to the pan. Sprinkle salt. Mix it with the masala. Keep the flame in medium heat. Don't cover the pan. Stir it every 2 - 3 minutes. Otherwise, masala might get burnt.
- When chicken is no longer pink, add broccoli florets. Sprinkle salt. Mix it and saute it well. Keep it on medium flame. Give a stir every 2-3 minutes.
- Once broccoli is cooked, and water has evaporated, taste and add more salt if desired. Add chopped coriander leaves and curry leaves. Add 2 or more teaspoons of oil and stir it continuously. I like to saute it for another 5 minutes.
- You can make it further dry by sauteeing it for another 5 minutes or so in medium flame. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Enjoy with Rice, Roti or any Indian bread.
