Once they are brownish black, add onions and Serrano pepper. Fry until golden brown.

Add chicken, salt and turmeric. Fry until it becomes slightly crispy/golden brown.

Add Ginger-garlic paste, Cumin-coriander powder, Chicken curry masala and Tomatoes. Do NOT stir, just cover and cook for 5 minutes on a medium heat.
