Let's Create This Flavorful Dish:

• In a bowl, combine the bite-sized chicken pieces with the chopped onion, chopped green chilies, curry leaves, pandan leaf, and the fragrant crushed ginger, garlic, and lemon grass.
• Introduce the rich flavors of roasted curry powder, turmeric powder, black pepper, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon powder, and salt to the chicken mixture. Remember, using high-quality spices will elevate the taste experience.
• In a small pan over medium heat, carefully dry roast the chili powder, stirring constantly until it deepens to a rich, dark brown hue. Be vigilant not to over-roast, as this can lead to a bitter taste. Once the desired color is achieved, quickly add the roasted chili powder to the chicken.
• Thoroughly mix all the spices into the chicken, ensuring every piece is beautifully coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen.
• Transfer the marinated chicken to a pot and add water until the chicken is just covered.
• Cook over medium heat for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
• Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the aromatic black curry powder.
• Serve hot and savor the incredible layers of spice and flavor in your homemade Spicy Chicken Curry! Enjoy!
