• Add yogurt, salt, red chilies, cumin powder and turmeric powder. Add coarsely chopped tomatoes as well. Mix these ingredients and turn the flame to medium.
• Make a slit in the green chilies and add them to the pan along with the ginger paste.
• When the gravy has thickened, add one cup water. Bring to a boil and turn down the flame. Close the pan and cook from fifteen to twenty minutes or till the chicken becomes tender. In case, there is excess water, evaporate it by opening the lid and cooking on high flame.
• Chop both the green and red capsicum into medium sized cubes and add them to the Karahi at this point. Sprinkle Garam Masala as well. Close the lid and cook on low flame for five minutes to let the flavor and aroma of capsicum spread in the gravy and chicken.
