Start by slicing 1 large red onion.
Add ½ cup oil to a pan and fry onions until dark brown (almost burnt).
Add the fried onions to a blender with a bit of water and blend it up until its a paste like consistency.
In a same pan as the onions (make sure to use a large pan, it will be useful later on), leave the remaining oil in and add in the whole spices listed above (3 bay leaves, 4-5 cloves, 3 pieces cardamom, 1 tsp cumin seeds). Let that get aromatic which will usually take 30 seconds to a minute.
Add in the chicken and let the chicken brown a bit before adding in the spices listed above (1.5 tsp turmeric, 2 tsp cumin, 2 tsp coriander powder, 2 tsp red chilli powder (kashmiri), 1 tbsp, garam masala, 1 tsp salt).
In a bowl take out a cup of yogurt and whisk it until it is loosened up and add it into the pan along with the fried onion paste and ginger paste and minced garlic
Add ¾ of water, mix everything well and cover for 15 minutes on medium heat or until chicken is fully cooked.
Now serve it rice or naan and ITS TIME TO ENJOY!
