1

Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are browned and softened.

2

Stir in the garlic paste and cook for another minute, allowing the aroma to develop.

3

Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook until the color changes, ensuring the chicken is lightly browned on all sides.

4

Then, add the spices—chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder—and stir to coat the chicken and onions evenly.

5

Next, add the canned tomatoes and cook the mixture until the tomatoes soften and break down, about 5-7 minutes.

6

Pour in some water and bring it to a simmer, letting it cook on medium heat for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.

7

Add the red and green bell peppers, along with any green chillies you prefer, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to soften the peppers slightly.

8

Finally, sprinkle in the dried fenugreek and fresh coriander, mixing everything together.
