700 grams of with bone medium cut chicken pieces.

2 Tablespoons of ginger garlic paste.
1 medium tomato, sliced.
Spice powder 1 Teaspoon of each (turmeric powder, red chili powder, roasted cumin and coriander powder).

3 big cloves of garlic finely chopped.

2-3 green chilies, chopped.
Some onion and capsicums, cut into chunks or cubes.
3 Tablespoons of soy sauce.
2 Tablespoons of red chili sauce.
2 Tablespoons of green chili sauce.
1 Tablespoon of tomato ketchup. (optional)
1 Teaspoon of vinegar. (optional)
Some salt and sugar as per your taste.
1/4th cup of hot water.

Steps

Heat oil in a pan.

Add onion slices, fry until golden in color.

Add ginger garlic paste, cook for 3 minutes or until raw smell is gone.

Then add chicken pieces, fry for 5 minutes.

Add all of the spice powder, mix well on low flame and cook for 15 minutes.

Add tomato slices, some salt and sugar, mix well and cook on low flame until chicken becomes soft.

Chicken will release lots of juices while cooking on low flame but still if the gravy becomes dry you can add little water. The gravy should be very thick at the end.
