Step 1

Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, add the chicken pieces and season with salt, black pepper, Kashmiri red chilli powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, chaat masala, red food colour, ginger garlic paste, yogurt, and lemon juice. Mix well to coat the chicken with the marinade. You can marinate the chicken overnight or cook it directly.

Step 2

Cook the chicken: Heat a pan over high flame and add oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side. Flip the chicken and cover the pan. Cook over medium flame for 10-12 minutes, until the chicken is partially cooked. Alternatively, you can bake the chicken at 180°C for 25 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken into a bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the gravy: In the same pan, heat ghee and add sliced onions. Sauté until the onions are translucent . Add chopped tomatoes, garlic cloves, and green chillies. Continue cooking until the tomatoes are softened. Turn off the heat and let it cool down. Once cooled, transfer the mixture into a mixer grinder jar and grind into a coarse puree.

Step 4

Make the final gravy: Heat a wok over high flame and add oil. Once hot, add the prepared onion-tomato puree along with Kashmiri chilli powder, salt, and turmeric powder. Stir well and cook over high flame for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the cooked chicken: Add the partially cooked chicken into the gravy along with yogurt. Cover and cook until the oil separates, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Finish the dish: Add double cream and kasuri methi to the gravy. Mix well and cook over low flame for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and the oil separates. Sprinkle fresh coriander leaves and sliced green chillies on top.
