▢2 teaspoons coriander powder
▢2 teaspoons Kashmiri red chili powder
▢1 teaspoon turmeric powder
▢1 teaspoon garam masala powder
▢1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
▢1 teaspoon salt
For The Curry
▢6 tablespoons mustard oil (or any other cooking oil)
▢1 teaspoon cumin seeds
▢3-4 whole cloves (laung)
▢1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns (kali mirch)
▢1 inch piece of cinnamon stick (dalchini)
▢2 flowers mace (javitri)
▢2 whole bay leaves (tejpatta)
▢1 cup thinly sliced red onions
▢1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
▢1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
▢1 cup thinly sliced tomatoes
▢3-4 green chilies (slit into half)
▢2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (fresh coriander leaves)

Instructions
Marinate The Chicken
Rinse chicken with water and drain well.
Add rinsed chicken, ginger garlic paste, coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, lime juice, and salt, to a large mixing bowl and mix well to coat them with the marinade.
Set the bowl aside for 30 minutes.
Make The Curry
Add cloves, cinnamon, black peppercorns, and javitri to a mortar and pestle and crush lightly.
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds, crushed spices, and bay leaves and saute for 4-5 seconds.
Add onions, salt, and sugar and cook until onions turn golden brown (10-12 minutes), stirring frequently.
Add the marinated chicken along with the marinade to the pan and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently.
Now add tomatoes and green chilies (slit into half) and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add 1 cup of water and mix well.
Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the chicken is tender and cooked through (40-45 minutes), stirring a few times while cooking.
Add more water if you like a thinner gravy. Check for salt and add more if needed.
Garnish with cilantro and serve hot.

Notes
If you are not a bone-in chicken person, use boneless chicken breast or thighs cut into bite-size cubes. To compensate for the flavor imparted by the bones, add chicken broth in place of water while cooking.
Add some ghee at the end of cooking for an enhanced and richer taste.
