Ingredients

4 boneless and skinless chicken meat
1/4 cup of plain yogurt
1 tablespoon of sunflower oil
2 chopped onion
3 cloves of minced garlic
1 tablespoon of flour
3 tablespoons of heavy cream
3 cups of cold water
3 clove
1 teaspoon of cardamom powder
1 tablespoon of cumin
1 tablespoon of cilantro (coriander)
1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 pinch of saffron
1 teaspoon of fresh root ginger

Directions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Then add yogurt to it. Cover the chicken completely with yogurt. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or 2 hours.
Heat the oil in a large, non-stick skillet until it shimmers. Then add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cover the pot and cook it on low heat for 15 minutes. Stir the onions occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
When the onions in the pan soften, add the cardamom seeds, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili pepper, and bay leaf to the mixture. Separate the stalks and heads of the garlic from each other. Cook the spices and onion mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the flour, saffron, sugar, and some salt to the mixture in the pan. Then add the water and other ingredients. Mix all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the bay leaf from the pan. Then puree the sauce mixture with a blender or food processor until you get a smooth consistency.
Add the sauce to a non-stick pan and then bring it to a boil. Add the chicken and cream to the saucepan and cook all the ingredients for about 10 minutes on medium-high heat, or until the chicken is tender and gets golden brown. Make sure to stir the pan regularly, as this will ensure that everything is cooked evenly.
Depending on the size of the pieces, the chicken can take a different amount of time to cook - so check from 8 minutes onwards.
Serve the chicken with fresh coriander.
