For 4 servings
Marinate the chicken in a bowl with 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp red chili powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Set aside for 15-20 minutes.
Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadai over medium heat. Add the whole spices.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn soft and golden brown, which should take about 8-10 minutes.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and slit green chilies. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Stir in the tomato puree and all the powdered spices: remaining turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder, along with the remaining salt. Cook this masala on medium-low heat for 6-8 minutes, until it thickens and oil begins to separate at the edges.
Add the marinated chicken pieces to the pan. Sauté on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, turning the pieces to sear them on all sides.
