- Cut the boneless chicken into small bite sized pieces.

- Add the green chillies according to your taste.
- Pour half of the mixture from step 2 into a bowl and mix it thoroughly with the chicken.
- Into this chicken mixture add 1 tbsp Garam Masala and salt to taste.
- Keep the resulting marinated chicken aside for about 30 minutes.
- In a frying pan add 3 tbsp of either mustard oil or sunflower oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add 1 tbsp sugar and cook until the sugar melts into the oil.
- Add 2/3 cardamom pods, 1 small cinnamon stick, and 1 bayleaf into the hot oil.
- Simmer for about 1 minute, then lower the heat to medium.
- On medium heat, add the marinated chicken mixture and cook till oil starts separating from the chicken.
- Add salt to taste and keep stirring the chicken to make sure it does not burn or stick to the bottom of the pan.
