Boil chicken in water with a lot of salt and a bay leaf until cooked properly.

Prepare ingredients: press 1 whole garlic, chop 2 onions, and measure 400 g of walnuts.

Process walnuts into a powder until slightly sticky.

Add saffron, coriander powder, fenugreek, and a tiny bit of chili powder to the walnuts and process again.

Cook onions in a pan until transparent, then turn off the flame.

Add the salty chicken stock to the onions, then add the walnut mixture and mix well.

Adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more stock if necessary.

Add egg yolk to the mixture and mix well, then turn the flame on low.

Stir constantly until the sauce thickens without boiling.

Mix the sauce with the chicken in bowls, ensuring the chicken is soaked in sauce.

Cool the dish and refrigerate overnight for best flavor.
