Sauté for a minute. Add the finely sliced onions and cook on medium heat until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.

Cook for another 2-3 minutes to roast the spices. 4. Cook the chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the masala and stir well to coat the pieces evenly.
