tomato puree - 3 or 4 tomatoes pureed, or one can of tomato puree or tomato paste

yes whole peppercorn, you can also put 1tsp of black pepper

kashmiri chilli powder is hard to come find even in Indian stores. Which is why paprika is a good substitute. You really dont need the spice, more so for color.

Also 1 Kg of chicken is about 2.5 pounds of chicken.
