1

Prepare the marination by combining curd, brown onions, red chili powder, poppy seeds, cloves, green cardamom, ginger garlic paste, cumin seeds, salt, ghee, and milk.

2

Add the chicken slices to the marination and ensure they are well coated.

3

Cover and refrigerate the marination for 2 to 3 hours (overnight is ideal).

4

Heat a pan on the stove and add more ghee once it's hot.

5

Pour the marinated chicken and all the marinade into the hot pan.

6

Cover the pan and cook the chicken in its own juices without adding water, stirring occasionally.

7

Check the chicken after some time; it should be cooked through and the ghee should separate from the gravy.

8

If desired, remove excess ghee before serving, but note that the flavor lies in it.

9

Drizzle cream on top before serving.
