Black pepper chicken is a famous Indian recipe in which black, white and green peppercorns are used as the flavour base together with yoghurt or cream. When we visited GOA for the international spice conference in January 2016, we were treated to this dish and while its origins are from Punjabi, we fell in love with its creamy peppery flavours and wanted to share it with you. Cooking Black Pepper chicken is as easy as chicken tandoori and makes for a quick mid-week meal. The level of Pepper can be adjusted to suit your personal preferences.
