Grind 15 green chilies, 4 tablespoons ginger, 15 garlic cloves, a bunch of coriander leaves, a bunch of mint leaves, and 10 cashew nuts into a fine paste and set aside.

In a pot, heat 4 tablespoons of oil and add 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 5 cloves, 5 cardamom pods, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 3 bay leaves; sauté.

Add 1 large sliced onion and 1 tablespoon salt, frying until the onions are golden brown.

Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric and the cleaned chicken pieces, sautéing with the lid on for 10 minutes.

Stir in the prepared green chili paste, mixing well and cooking with the lid on, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Once the oil rises to the top, add 2 tablespoons coriander powder, 1 tablespoon garam masala, and 1 tablespoon chicken masala, mixing thoroughly.

Cover and cook on low flame for 10 minutes.

Add 1 glass of water and adjust salt if necessary, then cover and simmer on medium flame for 15 minutes until the gravy thickens.

Sprinkle chopped coriander leaves before serving.
