Make a sauce by mixing 1.5 tsp soy sauce, 1.5 tsp red chilli sauce, 1.5 tsp oyster sauce, and 1.5 tsp chilli garlic sauce.

In a bowl, combine chicken pieces with salt, 1-2 tsp Kashmiri red chilli powder, and 1 tsp ginger garlic paste.

Add black pepper powder to the chicken and mix well.

Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and coat evenly.

Heat oil in a pan and add minced garlic and dry red chillies.

Once the garlic changes color, add the chicken pieces and fry for 7-8 minutes until soft.

Add cubed capsicum and onions, tossing lightly for 1-2 minutes without overcooking.

Serve the chicken garnished with coriander leaves and green chillies, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
