• Cubed onion and bell pepper are used to make Kadai chicken in restaurants, but you can skip them in authentic Kadai recipes.
• To add a smoky flavour to your Kadai chicken masala, you can light a  charcoal and place it in a bowl. Now keep this bowl in your Kadai and add 1 tsp ghee to it and cover the Kadai immediately. Allow it to cook for 2-3 min in Kadai with charcoal.
