Boil chicken in a large pot of water with whole spices including cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, and bay leaves, along with salt.

Once boiled, strain the chicken stock and set it aside for later use.

Shred the chicken into pieces using hands or forks, keeping the pieces larger as it will be cooked again.

In a pan, heat 1 cup of oil and add finely chopped onions, cooking until soft.

Add 1/2 tablespoon each of ginger and garlic paste, and stir well.

Add 10 to 12 cashew nuts and mix thoroughly.

Add 2 tomatoes and season with salt to taste.

Stir in 1/2 tablespoon turmeric powder and 1 tablespoon Kashmiri chili powder, then add 2 cups of chicken stock.

Let it cook until the mixture thickens and the tomatoes are well cooked, then blend it into a puree.

In another pan, melt butter and add 1 tablespoon of cumin seeds and chopped green chilies.

Add the blended puree, reduce heat, and mix in spices including turmeric, chili powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder.

Add the shredded chicken, mix well, and add additional hot water if needed to prevent sticking.

Cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the water reduces and the mixture thickens, then stir in 1/2 cup of cream.

Garnish with boiled eggs and cilantro before serving.
