Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cubed onion and sliced bell peppers, sauté for 2-3 minutes until just colored. Set these aside to keep their crunch!
  2. In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil and raise the heat. Toss in boneless chicken pieces, cooking for 4-5 minutes until golden and no longer pink. Season with salt and your favorite spices.
  3. Lower the heat, then add chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 3 minutes until aromatic.
  4. Stir in chopped fresh tomatoes, a pinch of salt, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Mix in tomato ketchup for a sweet tang.
  5. Introduce back the cooked chicken along with a splash of warm water and green chilies. Simmer for 7-10 minutes until chicken is tender and the sauce thickens. Finish with garam masala and fresh coriander.
