Pepper Chicken has always been my one of the favorite starter and I always wanted to make it in gravy form. With the help of Eastern Pepper Chicken Masala I finally made it and it turned out really well.

Review:
Colour and texture: This masala from Eastern condiments wont give a rich look and as you don't add turmeric the colour of the dish wont reflect any yellowness in it. It has a thick consistency and the masala has cornflour in it. This masala is quite different from others and really giver the ordinary chicken a different look. I rate it 8/10 for colour and texture.
Aroma: This masala has very different kind of smell and when added with curry leaves this really imparts a very nice aroma which is enough to make any chicken lover to drool over it. But people who do not like not-so-rick-chicken-curry may not like this particular recipe. So I rate it 8/10.
Taste: This is suitable for those who does not like spicy food. I really had to add a lot of chilli and pepper power to make it suitable for our taste buds. The name "Pepper Chicken Masala" does not justify the taste of the recipe. Otherwise the taste is nice and lite and goes well with rooti or parantha. I rate it 6/10.
