  • Add the red chilli powder, black pepper powder, and garam masala powder. Add a splash of water and cook the spices on low heat for 2 minutes.
  • Add the fried chicken pieces, sliced green chillies, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything well and sear for 2-3 minutes to combine the flavors. Then, add the sliced tomatoes along with a pinch of salt. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Cover the pan and let the dish simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Finally, add the julienned ginger and remaining chopped coriander leaves. Cook on low heat for an additional 2 minutes.
