Now add in the ginger garlic paste and saute for a min or two, and then add the chopped tomatoes and saute till the tomato is mushy. Please note the more you fry the onion and tomato the better the taste. Now add all the masala (turmeric, chilli, garam, coriander powder) and saute it well,sprinkle some salt and cook this for 3 to 4  min stirring from time to time so the masala don't stick to the pan. Now add in the chicken and coat it with the masala and cook for about 5 min. Now add the water, mix everything together and cover and cook till chicken is done. Keep stirring from time to time since the masala will settle down. once the chicken is cooked, add the black pepper and mix, garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with arabic bread, chapati, naan or layered paratha.
