5. Take a wide saucepan and add some oil to it. Keep it on a high flame. 

6. Add the sliced onions, chopped green chillies and some curry leaves to the pan. Saute well. 

7. Once the onions are golden-brown in colour, add the ginger-garlic paste and mix well. 

8. Add the chopped tomatoes and mix. 

9. Now, add the turmeric powder, chilli powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well. 

10. Now, add the shredded chicken to the pan and mix well until the chicken chunks are completely coated in the masala. 

11. Add the coriander powder and pepper powder and mix well. 

12. Reduce the flame and keep stirring it. 

13. Now, pour the chicken stock (the leftover water-content you get from pressure-cooking the chicken) into the pan. 

14. Keep mixing and add some chopped coriander leaves. 

15. Cook the chicken until the excess stock is evaporated. 

16. Once the chicken turns almost dry and the oil starts to separate, add a little more pepper powder and mix.
