Instructions
Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, chili powder, ground coriander, and salt. Cook until tomatoes break down and oil starts separating, about 8-10 minutes.
Add chicken pieces to the pan. Stir well to coat with the masala. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the slit green chilies and bell pepper strips. Mix well and cook for another 7-8 minutes until chicken is cooked through and vegetables remain slightly crisp.
Pour in water to loosen the gravy as needed. Cook for another 3-5 minutes.
