Heat 1/4 cup cooking oil in a large pot over high heat.

Add 500 grams of chicken directly into the oil and fry until the color changes.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste and sauté to remove the raw smell.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 cup of peas, then add 1/2 cup of water.

Cover and cook on low heat for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, check the chicken; it should have released water and be cooked through.

Add 5-6 chopped green chilies and 1 teaspoon of red chili powder.

Mix in 3 tablespoons of chili sauce, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, and 3 tablespoons of tomato ketchup.

Stir everything well and ensure the water is not completely evaporated.

Add 1 teaspoon of roasted cumin powder and 1 teaspoon of chicken powder, then mix again.

Add 2 finely sliced carrots, 1 finely sliced bell pepper, and the white part of spring onions.

Sauté the vegetables for about 1 minute, adding a little water if they seem dry.

Add 1 teaspoon of black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of additional salt based on the vegetables.

Mix everything well and cover to let it smoke for flavor.

Meanwhile, boil water with 3 tablespoons of salt for the rice.

Boil the rice until 80% cooked, then drain.

Layer half of the rice over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the pot.

Add the green part of the spring onions on top of the rice to maintain color.

Layer the remaining rice on top, spreading it evenly.

Drizzle 3 tablespoons of cooking oil over the rice for shine.

Top with the remaining spring onions and cover the pot.

Cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld.
