Step 2: Add the onions. cook and stir in the hot oil until translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the ginger-garlic paste and continue cooking another 5 minutes.

Step 4: Add the chicken back to the skillet, then add chopped potatoes. Simmer on medium heat stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 25-30 minutes. If you want a cream sauce add in some heavy cream and continue cooking. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
