Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.

Toasting the spices enhances their aroma and flavor.

Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Season the chicken with garam masala and cook in a separate pan until browned.
