Absolutely mouthwatering! Your South African peppered chicken looks incredible. Keep sharing these amazing recipes! 🍗🌶👩‍🍳

I'm South African, and I don't think this is South African. Reason being, I've traveled most of my country and never seen this. The only time I've seen and tasted something like this, was from our next door neighbour! Which was about 25 years ago. They have left South Africa, and sadly, with her recipe😢 I've been trying to replicate it just by my memory of taste. Just couldn't. In 2008 I went to Iran and ate a similar dish, a little bland. Made with turmeric, black pepper, salt, and I'm not sure if tomato was added, but definitely saffron. Mine is similar to yours. I start with skinless chicken marinated in turmeric, salt, pepper, ground cumin, and kashmiri chilli powder. Sauce is made by sautéing finely chopped onions and garlic. Then tomato paste and blended tomatoes and saffron. Once almost done, the chicken that I forgot to mention, should be seard or partially cooked in oven, added. I'm really gonna try your recipe. I can imagine the taste 😋 maybe it will bring back some good memories of some good neighbours😢 Thanks for your upload😘😘😘💞
