Creamy, aromatic, and peppery — Chicken Kalimirch is a royal Mughlai dish that combines the richness of dairy with the bold flavor of black pepper.

Description

Chicken Kalimirch (Black Pepper Chicken) is a Mughlai-inspired dish known for its delicate balance of spice and creaminess. The chicken is marinated and slow-cooked in a velvety gravy made with yogurt, cream, onion, and crushed black pepper. Unlike fiery curries, this dish offers warmth and depth through black pepper and whole spices, making it an elegant choice for any occasion. It’s best served with Indian breads like naan or tandoori roti, or paired with fragrant basmati rice

Chicken Kalimirch traces its roots back to the Mughal kitchens, where black pepper was considered a prized spice. While red chili was used sparingly in royal cuisine, black pepper offered a milder, more refined heat. This dish emerged as a delicacy, balancing luxury and subtle spicing — a tradition that continues in many North Indian and restaurant-style preparations today.
