Crush 12 cloves of garlic and 2 inches of ginger together.

Heat a pan and add 2 tablespoons of coriander seeds, 4 green cardamom pods, 1 black cardamom pod, black pepper, 1 small piece of cinnamon, and 6-7 dried red chilies.

Roast the spices on medium flame for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Let the roasted spices cool and then grind them into a fine powder.

Heat a kadhai and add 2-3 tablespoons of ghee or oil, heating it well.

Once hot, add 1 large finely chopped onion (100 grams) and fry on high flame until golden brown.

Add the chicken pieces and fry until the color changes, ensuring the chicken cooks through without adding water.

Stir occasionally and check to prevent spices from sticking to the bottom.

Add the ground spice powder and mix well, cooking until the chicken is well coated and cooked through.

For color, add a bit of Kashmiri red chili powder.

If the chicken is sticking, sprinkle a little water to help it cook.

Add juice of half a lemon and fresh cilantro before serving.
