Start by boiling 1 kg boneless chicken in a pot.

Chop 2 medium onions finely and 5-6 tomatoes finely.

Cut ginger lengthwise and prepare 3-4 green chilies and a handful of coriander.

Once the chicken is boiled, remove it and separate the spices.

Let the chicken cool down, then shred it using hands or a masher.

Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a kadhai (wok).

Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until soft, not browned.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste and continue to cook, stirring.

After 1-2 minutes, add the chopped tomatoes and mix well, cooking until the gravy is prepared.

Add 2 tablespoons of mixed spice powder, 1 tablespoon of crushed coriander, and salt to taste, mixing well.

Add 2 teaspoons of chicken powder and 2 teaspoons of Kashmiri red chili powder, stirring continuously.

Incorporate the shredded chicken into the mixture and mix thoroughly.

Add 1 cup of yogurt and cook for another minute before covering the pot.

Pour in 1 glass of the water used to boil the chicken and add 2 teaspoons of dried fenugreek leaves and 1 teaspoon of garam masala, mixing well.

Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the water reduces and the gravy thickens.

Garnish with coriander and ginger before serving.
