4. 4Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6–7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is sealed and lightly browned.
5. 5Pour in 150 ml tomato puree and mix well. Cook for 5 minutes until the oil begins to separate from the mixture.

7. 7Add 100 ml water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 8–10 minutes until the chicken is tender and the gravy thickens.
