Remove the chicken pieces and save the stock for later use.

Shred the chicken using a fork and remove the bones.

Drizzle some cooking oil into a pan, then add the cloves, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods, allowing them to sizzle and release their aroma.

Stir in onion paste and sauté for 4–5 minutes on low-medium heat.

Add the remaining ginger and garlic paste, green chili paste, tomato puree, sugar and salt.

Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Next, add coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and half of the stock.

Turn the heat down and slowly add yoghurt while stirring continuously. 

Stir in the shredded chicken, garam masala powder, and the remaining stock. Cook on medium heat for 10–15 minutes, or until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency.


Stir in the cashew paste, then gently fold in the cream, kasuri methi, and butter just before serving.
