Take chicken into a cooking bowl and add salt, turmeric, ginger garlic paste, curd and pour 1cup of water, give it a good stir and let it cook for around 15mins. This will remove any smell and adds good taste to chicken

   While chicken is cooking take another pan and heat 4 table spoons of oil. Add chopped onions, chilies, curry leaves and stir it until onions turn to golden brown.

You can add more coconut paste, if you want thick gravy. Let it cook for around 15 mins
