Clean the chicken thoroughly and place it in a mixing bowl. Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and lemon juice.

Mix everything well and allow the chicken to marinate for at least 20–30 minutes.

Allow the mixture to cool and grind it into a smooth paste using a little water.

Once they start spluttering, add curry leaves and green chillies.

Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Add ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.

Now add chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy.

Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Mix everything well.
