Step 1
Roast everything inside the "for the masala" section in low to medium heat till they look done. Bring to a slight cool and grind it to a fine dry paste using a mixie. To this add the garlic and the tomatoes and grind again till it becomes a fine watery paste.
Step 2
Add the chicken and the ground paste to an instant pot. Add water enough to cover the chicken and add turmeric and salt to this. Set it to soup mode and let it cook (showed 30 minutes default on my IP). Let pressure release naturally. Take only the cooked chicken out of this, you'll need it for the next step.
Step 3
Take a pan and add oil to it. Once it heats up, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds add curry leaves to it. Saute for a few seconds. Add onions to it. Once the onions look transparent, add only the chicken pieces (which you removed from the soup in the previous step) to it. Saute it for sometime. Add this to the soup. Serve hot.
