rest of ginger-garlic paste and saute it for around

10 minutes until onion turns very translucent and

soft.

Add all the spices and fry it for 3 more

minutes.Now add cooked chicken and fry it well

the masala itself.

the stove and allow it to stand for half an

hour.Once cooled,the dish will turn into a dark
