2 pieces Onions

Directions

In a bowl, combine olive oil, ginger garlic green chilli paste, peri peri seasoning, vinegar, and salt.

Add the chicken breast, ensuring it is well-coated with the marinade.

Let it marinate while you prepare the sauce or refrigerate for a few hours.

Once hot, place the marinated chicken in the pan and cook until golden brown and slightly charred on both sides.

Set the chicken aside to rest before slicing.

Peel the charred skin from the red bell pepper and tomatoes.

Roughly chop all the charred vegetables and blend them into a smooth puree.

Heat a deep pan, add olive oil, and sauté the ginger garlic green chilli paste briefly.

Add the peri peri seasoning and Kashmiri red chilli powder, followed by the vegetable puree.

Cook until the oil separates, then adjust the consistency with hot water.

Add lemon zest, juice, sugar, and fresh cream. Stir in the cooked chicken and garnish with fresh coriander.
