  • Add the onions and let them soften and become translucent
  • Add green chillies, ginger and garlic paste
  • Add capsicums, mix well and let it cook for 5-7 mins on medium heat
  • Now add turmeric. Adding it now ensures that it doesn’t burn and lends a fresh colour to the dish
  • Add the chicken with a bit of water and let it cool for 15 mins or till chicken is cooked completely
