3. Cook the chicken on a high flame for 3-4 minutes till the color changes from pink to slightly white.
4. Now cover the pan and simmer the gas for 15 minutes to let the chicken cook completely and become tender. Make sure to flip the chicken pieces after 7 minutes.
5. Once you notice the chicken has got completely cooked, take approx 100ml water and add 1 tbsp cornflour to make a slurry and add the slurry in a pan and let it boil in open for another 4-5 minutes to make the gravy little thick. Lastly, sprinkle Kasuri methi, black pepper powder, garlic powder salt, lemon juice and garlic bread seasoning.

(Note: you can continue to let it boil for a little longer if you think that the gravy is too watery)
