Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
3
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw aroma disappears.
4
Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and coriander powder, mixing well with the onion base.
5
Add the chicken pieces and sear them on medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until they change color.
6
Pour in the tomato puree and season with salt. Cover and cook on medium-low heat until the oil separates from the masala.
7
Add a cup of warm water, cover the pan, and simmer until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
8
Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper and garam masala over the curry, giving it a final stir.
