1

Start by marinating 1 kg of chicken with 1 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, 2 teaspoons coriander powder, 1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder, and juice of 0.5 lemon.

2

Add 1 cup yogurt to the marinated chicken and mix well. Let it marinate for 30 minutes.

3

Heat 3/4 cup mustard oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat.

4

Add 4 small cardamom, 2 large cardamom, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 2-inch cinnamon stick, 10-12 black pepper, 2-3 cloves, and 2-3 bay leaves to the hot oil.

5

Crush 10-12 garlic cloves and add them to the oil, stirring for a few seconds until fragrant.

6

Add 4 finely chopped medium onions to the cooker and sauté over medium to high heat until golden brown.

7

Stir in 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste and cook for 2-2.5 minutes until the raw smell disappears.

8

Add 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder and 1 teaspoon Kashmiri chili, mixing well.

9

Add 4 medium chopped tomatoes and 0.5 teaspoon salt, cooking until the tomatoes are soft and the oil separates, about 5-6 minutes.

10

Add the marinated chicken to the pot and stir on high flame for about 10-11 minutes until the chicken changes color and the oil separates.

11

Add 1 tablespoon dried fenugreek leaves and mix well.

12

Pour in 0.5 cup hot water for a thinner curry, or 1 cup for a thicker curry, and stir.

13

Cover the pressure cooker and cook on medium to high flame for 2 whistles, then turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally.

14

If the chicken is not tender after 2 whistles, cook for an additional whistle.

15

After releasing the pressure, add 4-5 green chilies, 0.5 teaspoon garam masala, and some chopped fresh cilantro, mixing well.

16

Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on low flame to allow the flavors to meld.

17

Serve the chicken curry hot with chapati, paratha, or rice.
