method
1. Marinate the chicken pieces in the yoghurt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, and salt for 1 hour.
2. Heat 2 tbsp of ghee / oil in a pan; add cloves, black peppercorns, poppy seeds, coriander seeds, and cumin seeds. Saute until they crackle; add the onions and saute until the onions are browned. Remove the pan from the heat and cool. Put the contents of the pan into a blender and make a paste with the tomatoes, mint leaves, ginger, and garlic. Blend until the mixture is smooth.
3. Heat the remaining ghee / oil; add the chicken along with the marinade. Cook until the water has evaporated and the chicken turns a light brown.
4. Add the onion paste and 1 cup of hot water. Bring to the boil. Cover the pan and simmer, stirring occasionally until tender.
