Step 1
Pat chicken dry. Cut into 1.5-inch bite-sized pieces, discarding excess fat.
Step 2
Stir achari paste, yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and chili powder in a bowl until smooth.
Step 3
Toss chicken with the marinade until fully coated. Let sit 1 minute.
Step 4
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Add chicken in a single layer. Cook without stirring for 3 minutes until edges char and brown.
Step 6
Stir and cook 2 more minutes until chicken is cooked through. Serve hot with rice or flatbread.
