Instructions

Marination: Add chicken in a bowl, add 1/2 cup of yogurt. Toss all ground spices, including half tsp salt, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 red chili, and 1/2 mix masala. Mix the medley well, and leave it for 2 hours.
In a pan, put a cup of oil, add garam masala and 2 chopped onions. Cook it until the onions turn golden. Keep the flame on medium.
Add garlic ginger paste and stir it for 1 minute. Stir it for the next 1 minute.
Now add the marinated chicken to the wok. Toss all the ground spices. Don't forget to add a splash of water to dilute the spices throughout the curry. Leave it on a medium flame for 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and yogurt. Additionally, you can add the dry fenugreek for more flavor. Now, stir the stew for 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken gets juicier and soft.

Notes

If the chicken quantity is double, then double all the spices, yogurt, and oil. And double the salt as per your taste.
If you don't like dairy items, then skip the yogurt and use nut yogurt.
After marination, leave the chicken for at least 2 hours so the flavors dissolve deeply in the chicken.
