Cooking time for chicken is 15 to 20 minutes while roasting or pan-frying and 10 to 15 min while boiling. Alternatively, you can use rotisserie chicken, remove skin and bones and then shred it into small pieces and then air-fry it for 10 mins. 
• For boiled chicken remove all the water and let it cool for some time. Till then make other spices ready.
• Either roast tomato in gas or boil it and peel off its skin (roasted tomato taste better than boiled one). Smash it with hand or make a paste in the grinder after cooling it.
• Take a bowl and transfer chicken into it. Add salt, chilly flakes, tomato paste,  coriander powder, cumin powder, chopped onion, garlic/ginger paste. And mix it well and leave it for a while so that it absorbs all the spices.
