Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Marinade

1. In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with salt, ginger garlic paste, and curd.

Step 5: Cook the Chicken

1. In a pan, heat the cooking oil and add sliced onions, bay leaves, cloves, and green cardamoms.
2. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
3. Add the marinated chicken to the pan and stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is partially cooked.
4. Stir in the first masala and mix well.

Step 6: Add Vegetables
