2. Remove chicken from the oil and set aside.
3. Add chopped onions to the oil and fry until brown.
4. Add cardamom, cloves, tomatoes, a splash of water, and ginger-garlic paste; sauté for one minute then cover and cook for 10 minutes on low heat to soften.
5. Add red chili powder, cumin powder, crushed coriander, turmeric, kashmiri chili powder, salt, and potatoes; sauté for 3-4 minutes.
6. Return the chicken to the pan, add yogurt and green chilies, and sauté until the water from the yogurt and tomatoes evaporates.
7. Add water and cook covered on low heat for 10 minutes until chicken and potatoes are tender.
8. Turn off heat and stir in the nutmeg-mace powder and garam masala.

## Tips

- Frying the chicken first prevents it from breaking during cooking, keeps it juicy, and removes unpleasant odors.
- If onions and tomatoes are not fully melting into the gravy after sautéing, you can blend the mixture before adding the chicken.
- Add yogurt while the heat is low to prevent it from curdling in the hot curry.
