He has given a beautiful name of this item as well.C3,Capsicum Curd Chicken.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

• Masturd oil
• Turmeric powder:1tsp
• Chilli powder:1/2 tsp
• Salt :As per taste
• sugar: 1/2 tsp
• Water:1cup
• Garam masala powder: 1/2tsp

Procedure:

•  At first chop one capsicum very finely and dice the other two.
• Make  a smooth paste of 2 of the 3 onions and thinely slice the other one.
• Take the chicken,wash it and with a tissue paper dry up the extra water.
• Now in a large bowl add the chicken,3 tbsp masturd oil,sliced onion,finely chopped capsicum,chilli powder  and mix very well.

• Add the ginger paste and cook it low flame until the oil separes from the mixture.
• Now add the marinated chicken pieces.

• Cook very well in low flame until the chicken pieces become soft and tender.
• As curd is already there in the marinated chicken ,huge amount of water will release and it will help to cook the chicken and so be careful while adding extra water.If you want to prepare your chicken in little dry form ,you need not to add water.
• When it comes to your desied consistancy sprinkle little garam masala powder.
