Steps

  1. Cut the boneless chicken into small bite sized pieces.

  3. Add the green chillies according to your taste.
  4. Pour half of the mixture from step 2 into a bowl and mix it thoroughly with the chicken.
  5. Into this chicken mixture add 1 tbsp Garam Masala and salt to taste.
  6. Keep the resulting marinated chicken aside for about 30 minutes.
  7. In a frying pan add 3 tbsp of either mustard oil or sunflower oil.
  8. Once the oil is hot, add 1 tbsp sugar and cook until the sugar melts into the oil.
  9. Add 2/3 cardamom pods, 1 small cinnamon stick, and 1 bayleaf into the hot oil.
  10. Simmer for about 1 minute, then lower the heat to medium.
  11. On medium heat, add the marinated chicken mixture and cook till oil starts separating from the chicken.
