Take 200 grams of chicken pieces. them with 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, and 1/2 tsp chili powder. Mix well and let it for .
Step 2: Prepare the Gravy Paste

Add a little water and blend all ingredients to a fine paste.
Step 3: Sauté the Paste
Heat 1.5 tablespoons of oil in a pressure cooker pan. Add the prepared paste to the hot oil and fry it well until the oil starts to separate from the paste, indicating it's cooked through.

Also, add 4-5 tsp chili powder (adjust to your spice preference). Mix all the spices thoroughly with the paste and fry for a few more seconds until fragrant.
Step 5: Incorporate Yogurt
