Murg kali mirch is black pepper chicken curry, a north Indian and Pakistani dish with a spiced, creamy white curry sauce. The only heat in this curry comes from black pepper, and loads of it. Usually, you would marinate the meat in black pepper, ginger, and garlic but we’re making the sauce, and then adding beans to it in this recipe.

This sauce is incredibly versatile! Use other proteins, if you prefer, like other types of beans, chickpeas, chickpea tofu, crisped up or baked tofu, seitan, soy curls, or other vegan chicken substitutes that you like.

If you’re using tofu or any other larger protein, marinate it in about 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper and dashes of salt, garlic, and oil, then bake or pan fry it to golden, before adding to the sauce.

Serve kali mirch beans with naan, flatbread, toasted sourdough, or garlic bread. It’s also delicious spooned over a baked potato, seared cauliflower, or your favorite pasta for a fusion version of this dish.

The sauce is absolutely delicious with just a few ingredients, so definitely try this one!
