Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken:

In a bowl, mix chicken with yogurt, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, and a little oil. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the base:

Heat ghee and oil in a pan. Add bay leaf, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon stick. Sauté for a few seconds until aromatic.

3. Cook onions:

Add chopped onions and fry until golden brown. Add ginger and garlic paste. Cook for another 2 minutes.

4. Add chicken:

Add the marinated chicken and cook on medium heat until the chicken turns white and the spices are well coated.

5. Add milk:

Lower the heat and pour in the milk gradually while stirring to prevent curdling. Add sugar and adjust salt if needed.

6. Simmer:

Add slit green chilies and a little water (if the gravy is too thick). Cover and let the chicken simmer for 15-20 minutes until it is fully cooked and the gravy thickens.

7. Finish:

Stir in fresh cream for extra richness (optional). Cook for another 2-3 minutes and remove from heat.

8. Serve:

Serve hot with steamed rice, paratha, or naan.
