Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Chicken for Marination
Take about 500g of chicken pieces in a bowl.
Step 2: Add Spices to Chicken
Add salt to taste, 1 tsp of chili powder, 1/2 tsp of ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp of garam masala, 1 tsp of roasted meat curry powder, and 1/2 tsp of garlic powder (optional) to the chicken.
Step 3: Add Whole Spices
Add a few crushed cardamom pods and cloves, and two pieces of garcinia.
Step 4: Add Cinnamon Sticks
Add two 2-inch cinnamon sticks.
Step 5: Mix and Marinate Chicken
Mix all the ingredients well with the chicken pieces until evenly coated. Let the chicken marinate for a few minutes.
Step 6: Prepare Aromatics
Chop a few pandan leaves into 2-inch pieces. Slice half an onion. Chop a few green chilies. Quarter a few tomatoes. Chop a small piece of ginger and a few garlic cloves.
