KADAI CHICKEN GRAVY/HOW TO MAKE RESTAURANT STYLE KADAI CHICKEN AT HOME

Kadai Chicken is a popular chicken gravy made with tomatoes, capsicums and spices. Kadai chicken gravy is one of my favorite chicken dishes as it is spicy, delicious and bursting with flavors of the masalas used. Kadai Chicken is usually prepared with Kadai masala where spices are roasted and powdered and then used in the gravy. But here I have skipped the step and used ready made spice powders to speed up the process of making Kadai Chicken gravy. The Kadai chicken gravy comes out awesome every time I make it. Kadai Chicken tastes best when served with Roti, Paratha or Naan. 

Here I have omitted adding slightly sautéed squares of capsicums and onions at the end as my family is not very fond or it. Do add them as it adds a crunch to the Kadai chicken.
