Method

Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onions, chillies, curry leaves, green pepper and garlic until softened. Stir in the paste and fry for 1 minute. Add the chicken and fry for 10-15 minutes. (If the mixture looks a little dry, add a few tablespoons of water.) Season with salt and stir in the peppercorns.
Serve the pepper chicken with steamed basmati rice.
