  Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a bowl, mix the chicken pieces with yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt.
   • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

2. Prepare the Curry:

   • Heat the oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
   • Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds. Let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
   • Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
   • Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and the oil begins to separate from the mixture.

3. Cook the Chicken:

   • Add the marinated chicken to the pan. Cook on high heat until the chicken is no longer pink.
   • Add ground coriander, ground cumin, garam masala, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Mix well to coat the chicken with the spices.

4. Add Bell Peppers:

   • Add the green and red bell peppers. Stir-fry for a few minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.
   • Pour in 1/2 cup of water to create a sauce. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
   • Reduce the heat and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have melded together. Adjust salt to taste.

5. Garnish and Serve:

   • Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
   • Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.
