Heat required oil in a pan add cinnamon, cloves and cardamom, fry until aroma rises. Add the chopped onions, ginger and garlic paste. Stir fry until the raw smell leaves, add the marinaded chicken pieces and fry for few more minutes. Now add the tomatoes and fry until the tomatoes are mashed, add turmeric powder, chilly powder, coriander powder, pepper powder and salt.

Thank you all for your lovely comments!
Yes Vijitha, sometimes i too use ready made masala for instant curries but i feel Sakthi masala is better than Achi masala. I feel Achi products are using artificial chilly flavors. When i eat anything made with Achi masala my stomach burns like ulcer. Now days i am using Sakthi masala products that to occasionally. Homemade masalas are always safe:)
