    Place the chicken pieces in a pot with a bay leaf, salt, water, and 1 tsp each of ginger and garlic paste. Cook for 20-25 minutes on medium heat. Remove the chicken pieces and save the stock for later use. Shred the chicken using a fork and remove the bones. Drizzle some cooking oil into a pan, then add the cloves, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods, allowing them to sizzle and release their aroma. Stir in onion paste and sautĂ© for 4–5 minutes on low-medium heat. Add the remaining ginger and garlic paste, green chili paste along with tomato puree, sugar and salt. SautĂ© for 2-3 minutes. Next add coriander powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and half of the stock. Turn the heat down and slowly add yogurt while stirring continuously.  Mix in the shredded chicken, garam masala powder and rest of the stock. Cook for 10-15 minutes on medium heat until the gravy reaches a thick consistency.  Add cashew paste and gently mix in cream, kasuri methi and butter before serving. Ready to enjoy with paratha or naan.
