Spicy Pepper Chicken ... (almost) the way mommy makes it

Pepper chicken was one think that we relished back home; mommys touch, desi spices and the "naati" koLi sure did make a lot of difference; this recipe that I found on the net sure comes pretty close to it

• Add crushed garlic cloves(6 to 10) stir for a couple of minutes
• Add onion(2 nos), green chillies (4 to 6 vertically sliced) and curry leaves to the mixture and stir for a couple more minutes
• Add chicken(1.5 lbs) and mix well.
• Lower the heat and cover the pan and let the chicken to cook for about 10 minutes.
