Pepper Chicken
This Kerala-style pepper chicken isn’t shy. It hits first with the smoky heat of black pepper and dried chile, then mellows into a rich coconut gravy fragrant with curry leaves and ginger. Paired with Malabar ghee rice, fluffy jasmine grains scented with onions, whole spices, and golden raisins, it’s the kind of dish that feels layered and intentional. Every spoonful swings between warmth and spice, softened by creamy coconut and the faint sweetness of toasted cashews.
