Start by marinating approximately 600g of chicken with slit green chillies, ginger garlic paste, and lemon juice.

Leave the marinated chicken aside for at least 15 to 30 minutes.

Finely chop the onions.

Prepare fresh tomato puree using 4 tomatoes.

Toast dry fenugreek leaves on a pan to enhance flavor.

Squeeze out excess water from the marinated chicken before cooking.

Heat clarified butter and oil in a pan, then add chopped onions and cook until they turn transparent.

Add ginger garlic paste once the onions are transparent and cook on slow to medium flame.

Add the tomato puree and cook until the gravy is 50% to 60% done.

Add curd and salt, and continue cooking without halting.

Cook the marinated chicken in the gravy until done, ensuring not to overcook the gravy beforehand.
