## Tips

- Use fried onions from Indian or Iranian supermarkets, not crispy onions.
- Blend mint stems first to help catch the blade and release water.
- Add half of the kasuri methi and garam masala early for aroma and the rest later for vibrant fresh spice.
- Start with a little yogurt and add more as needed.
- Brown the chicken pieces to develop flavor and speed up cooking.
- Crack lemongrass instead of chopping for home cooking, so it can be easily removed.
