Homemade sauce can be fresher and lower in preservatives.

Prepare tomato paste by boiling 500 grams of tomatoes until the skin separates, then blend into a puree.

In a pan, heat 1/4 cup oil and sauté 2 chopped onions, 3-4 green chilies, and 7-8 cloves of chopped garlic until the onions change color.

Add 500 grams of ground chicken and cook until mixed well.

Add spices: 1.5 teaspoons salt, 1.5 teaspoons chicken powder, 2 teaspoons ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 teaspoons red chili powder, and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Mix in the prepared tomato puree, 1/2 cup tomato ketchup, 2 tablespoons chili sauce, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce, then cover and simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes.

For the white sauce, heat 1/4 cup oil and sauté 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic until fragrant, then add 2 tablespoons flour and cook briefly.

Gradually add 1/2 liter milk while mixing to prevent lumps, then add 1 packet of cream, 1 teaspoon white pepper powder, and 1 tablespoon chicken powder, cooking until thickened.

Boil water in a pot, add 1 tablespoon salt and 2-3 tablespoons oil, then add lasagna sheets and boil for 5 minutes before turning off the heat and letting them sit in hot water for 2-3 minutes.

In a baking dish, layer white sauce, lasagna sheets, chicken mixture, and cheese, repeating layers as desired, finishing with a layer of white sauce and cheese on top.

Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30-35 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
