Heat 1.5 cups of oil in a heavy vessel over low-medium flame.

Add 1 kilogram of chicken and fry for 15-20 minutes until almost 70% cooked.

Stir the chicken gently to avoid breaking it apart.

After the chicken is 70% cooked, add 0.5 kilograms of tomatoes and fry together for another 10-15 minutes.

Remove the skins from the tomatoes after they have softened.

Drain excess oil from the mixture, leaving about 2-3 tablespoons in the vessel.

Add whole green chilies to the mixture.

Mash the tomatoes and mix them with the chicken.

Season with salt to taste, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of Kashmiri red chili powder.

Mix the chicken well and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes before turning off the heat.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and julienned ginger before serving.
