Cut the onions in a specific direction for frying, not the usual way.

Heat 350 grams of ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan.

Once the ghee is hot, add the sliced onions and fry on high heat for 2-3 minutes.

Lower the heat and continue frying the onions for 10-15 minutes until they turn crispy and golden brown.

Remove the fried onions and drain the oil, placing them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

In the same pan, add 1.5 cups of the ghee used for frying the onions.

Add 2 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste to the ghee.

Add 450-500 grams of thick yogurt and mix well.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of coriander powder, 1 tablespoon of red chili powder, 10 black peppercorns, and 10 cloves to the mixture.

Mix everything well and turn on the heat to medium.

Cook until the yogurt starts to bubble and the moisture reduces, about 10-12 minutes.

Once the yogurt is cooked and the oil separates, add 1 kg of chicken to the pot.

Stir the chicken in the mixture for 2-3 minutes on high heat.
