Step 1
Let’s start by making a creamy white sauce. Heat some oil in a pan and sauté chopped garlic for about a minute. Sprinkle in some all-purpose flour and cook it for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in the milk and keep stirring until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of chili flakes, then set it aside.

In another pan, heat a little oil and cook some ginger garlic paste for a minute until fragrant. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, chili powder, cumin seeds, and chili flakes. Pour in a splash of water, cover, and simmer for a few minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Shred the chicken and keep it ready.
