Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the chopped onions till they start turning golden and keep them separate.

Then, add the cummin, cardamom, clove and cinnamon to fry little bit. Add green chillies and then add the marinated chicken slowly mixing in the pan. Put a lid and cook in the medium heat/flame for 15 mins.
