- Garlic paste – 1 tsp

- Once the oil is hot, saute the onions and garlic paste in it for 5 minutes until aromatic.
- Add the chicken portions and let them turn golden brown on both sides.
- Add tomatoes and some water (not too much! Add in between if things start to stick too much.), salt and pepper and let everything cook for an hour.
