Either you can cook chicken in a pressure cooker for 2 whistles and mix with masala. We prefer to cook the chicken along with onion and tomato. This take more time to cook the chicken. In the earlier case you can make the curry in 10 minutes.

Add some water based on gravy needed.

Add 1/2 tbs Turmeric powder, 1 tbs red chili powder(based on spice level add required red chili powder) ,  1/2 tbs garam masala, 1 tbs pepper powder , required salt and mix it well.
