3. Add ginger, garlic and Ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a few moments.
4. Add capsicum, onions and celery and sauté for one minute.
5.  Add chicken and mix for a while.
6. When the colour of the chicken changes to whitish, add pepper, salt and green chilli paste.
7. Add sauces to chicken. Mix well.
8. Add water and cook the chicken.
9.  To get thick gravy, you can add a little corn flour mixed with water at the end of preparation.

10. Just before you serve, decorate your Chicken in Chilli Oyster with spring onion and coriander leaves.

Tips: You can also add cashew paste instead of corn flour to get a thick gravy. Chop the remaining capsicum (half each of three colours) along with one onion, celery, spring onion and coriander leaves. Mix a little lemon juice (from half a lemon), a little pepper powder (from two green peppers) and salt to get a green salad.
