Add 1 teaspoon of mustard oil and mix everything together to coat the chicken with the masala.

Place a small steel bowl with a burning charcoal piece and pour 1 teaspoon of ghee on the charcoal to smoke the chicken for 10 minutes.

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a cooking pan.

Add 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic and chopped green chilies; fry together for a few seconds.

Add finely chopped onions and fry for a few minutes until they are right.

Once the onions are fried, add the marinated chicken cubes and fry with the onions.

Add salt to taste and 1 teaspoon of kasuri methi; fry the chicken for a few more minutes.

Cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes until the oil has separated from the masala and the chicken is almost cooked.

Add thinly sliced onions, thinly sliced capsicum, and a tomato cut into thin slices; fry together with the chicken.

Cover with a lid and cook for another 5 minutes until the onion and capsicum are cooked but the onion is still a little crunchy.

Add fresh coriander leaves and mix with the chicken masala.

Boneless chicken masala is ready; enjoy with paratha, naan, or roti.
