Marinate the chicken pieces into that mix and leave it in the fridge for half an hour,
Add 1 tbsp (or little more as desired) oil into a pan, and cook chopped garlic until fragrant, add sliced onions and cook until light brown.
Add sweet chilli sauce, soya sauce, green chillies, and some ginger and garlic paste.
Add turmeric powder, and let it cook for 1 minute.
Add the chopped peppers, and let it cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add tomatoes, and let everything cook for another 2-3 minutes to get desired tenderness.
On the other hand, heat 2 tbsp of oil in a separate pan, and cook all the chicken pieces in it, putting few pieces at a time.
Once cooked, put them on a paper towel to let the extra oil drain out, and add them to rest of the vegetables.
Add salt to taste.
Let everything cook together for about 5 minutes, and add garam masala in the end.
Garnish with fresh cilantro(coriander) leaves and serve with Nan bread or rice (ideally, Basmati rice).
