Soak wheat and lentils in water for several hours or overnight.

Drain the soaked wheat and lentils and set aside.

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and add sliced onions until golden brown.

Add ginger and garlic paste, sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in green chilies and chicken pieces, cooking until chicken is browned.

Add soaked wheat and lentils to the pot, mixing well with the chicken.

Pour in enough water to cover the mixture and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally.

Once the wheat and lentils are soft, mash the mixture with a wooden spoon or hand blender until smooth.

Add garam masala, cumin, coriander, black pepper, and salt, stirring to combine.

Cook for another 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld, adding water as needed for desired consistency.

Finish with lemon juice and garnish with cilantro and fried onions before serving.
