3. Drain and cool. Grind to a fine paste. Marinate the chicken pieces in a mixture of yogurt, ginger-garlic-green chilli paste and salt for two hours.
4. Heat four teaspoons ghee in a thick bottom pan. Add bay leaves and sauté for half a minute. Add the marinated chicken and cook till the gravy starts boiling.
5. Add coriander and cumin powders and the onion and almond pastes dissolved in half a cup of water.
6. Stir to mix well. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid or cover with aluminium foil so that the steam does not escape. Simmer for fifteen minutes.

8. Stir in fresh cream and serve hot.
