Start by checking the chicken for any waste and clean it if necessary.

Cut the chicken into medium-sized pieces.

Marinate the chicken with 2 tablespoons garlic paste, 1 tablespoon red chili, 3 tablespoons cooking oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well and add 1/3 cup peri peri sauce to create a paste.

Mix the chicken pieces into the marinade and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Chop the vegetables: peel and cut 2 onions into square pieces, cut the bell pepper, eggplant, zucchini, and colored capsicum into desired sizes.

Heat a pan on high flame and fry the marinated chicken until moisture is reduced.

Cover the pan and cook on low flame for 20 minutes to steam the chicken until tender.

Fry the eggplant on high flame until it turns brown.

Add the fried eggplant to the chicken mixture and mix well.

Serve the cataplana with garlic rice, pouring the gravy over the rice.
