Start by marinating 500 grams of boneless chicken with salt, paprika, dried coriander, cumin, chicken powder, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Boil water in a pot, add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of cooking oil, and bring to a boil.

Add 200 grams of pasta to the boiling water and cook until 90% done; drain and rinse with cold water, then add 1 tablespoon of oil to prevent sticking.

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and fry the marinated chicken until it changes color.

Add 1 cup of water to the chicken, bring to a boil, cover, and cook on low flame for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, uncover and dry out the remaining water on high flame; remove the chicken from the skillet.

In the same oil, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and fry the chopped onion until soft.

Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté briefly before adding the tomato puree; cover and cook on low flame for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, uncover and add the powdered spices, mixing well until the oil separates.

Add soy sauce, chili sauce, and chili garlic sauce, followed by the chopped carrot and bell pepper; mix and cover, cooking on low flame for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add the cooked pasta and mix well; set aside while preparing the white sauce.

For the white sauce, melt 1 tablespoon of butter with 1 teaspoon of oil in a pan, then add 1 teaspoon of flour and cook briefly.

Gradually add 1 cup of milk while mixing, then add the powdered spices and fresh cream; cook until the sauce thickens.

In a baking dish, layer the pasta, white sauce, and chicken, then top with cheese and a drizzle of chili garlic sauce and chili flakes.

Cover and bake in a preheated oven on medium-low flame for 15-20 minutes.

After baking, uncover and turn off the flame.
