5) Heat oil in a wok. Add green chilli and onion and fry until onion turns golden brown in color.
6) Add tomatoes and fry until tomatoes become tender and starts to melt. Keep this mix aside.
7) Add all powders into the same wok (this way we can use the same oil again). Add the ground masala mix to it. Fry this mix well for 2-3 minutes.
8) Add the potatoes and chicken pieces to this and mix well. Make sure that the potato and chicken pieces are coated well with the powders and masala.
9) Add little bit water to the work. Boil the mix in low flame for 15-20 minutes. (Make sure that you add low amount of water since chicken pieces will already have water in them). Remove the chicken masala from the heat when the gravy becomes semi thick.
