Transfer the cooked chicken pieces into a big bow.

Add ginger, garlic, red chili, pepper, coriander powder, cumin powder, salt and other herbs and spices in it.

Mix it well with the chicken and keep it aside.

Take it off the stove and pour the hot tempering on the chicken and spice mixture.

Mix everything properly and keep it aside for 10 minutes for the chicken to absorb all the flavours.
