Toast the black sesame seeds on a hot pan for 3-4 minutes till you get the aroma

Make a paste of the roasted sesame seeds, ginger, garlic,tomato and green chilli

Sear the chicken in mustard oil till it becomes pale, remove from oil and keep separately.

Add the bay leaves and red chilli to the oil in which we just seared the chicken, add the onions and tomato (optional), brown the onions.
