Heat the Tawa
Place a large tawa or frying pan over medium heat and add the cooking oil. Allow the oil to warm through before adding the cumin seeds. Let the seeds sizzle and release their aroma to create a flavorful base for the dish.

Cook the Chicken
Add the diced chicken to the hot pan and cook while stirring regularly. Fry the chicken until it changes color and begins to lightly brown on the outside. This helps seal in the juices and develop flavor before adding the remaining ingredients.

Add Aromatics
Stir in the chopped ginger and garlic along with the salt and asafoetida. Cook the mixture until the ginger and garlic become fragrant and lightly golden. Continue stirring to prevent the aromatics from sticking to the pan.
