To make harissa masala: add ground cumin, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, red chili powder, garlic cloves, oil, salt, and lemon juice in a grinder. Grind it into a fine paste.
Rub masala onto the chicken pieces until fully coated. Marinate it from 30 minutes to overnight.
Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the marinated chicken.
Now braise the chicken in the resultant stock.
Cover the lid and cook on low flame for about 5-8 minutes till the chicken is fully cooked. Serve it at dinner.
