Marinate the Chicken:

Cook the Spices and Onions:
Heat oil in a pan and add the whole spices: cloves, cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant. Then, add the chopped onions and cook them until they turn brown. -
Cook the Chicken:
Add the marinated chicken to the pan and mix well. Cook on high heat until the curd starts to release water. Season with turmeric, coriander powder, and garam masala. Stir to combine. -
Simmer the Curry:
Push the chicken to one side and cook until the oil separates from the curry. Add some water to achieve the desired consistency for a thick curry. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer the chicken on low flame until fully cooked. -
Garnish and Serve:
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer the curry to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and fried potato fries. -
