To marinate the chicken :

First clean wash and pat dry chicken pieces and drumsticks.

Mince ginger garlic and chillies.

In a bowl put curd. To this add salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, Maggie magic masala cubes, minced ginger garlic chillies, lemon juice, chicken masala and garam masala powder.

Mix this well and rub this on to chicken and keep it aside for at least 3 hours or overnight in the fridge.

To make gravy :

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and add in whole spices one by one.

As soon as they begin to sizzle, add in grated onions, and fry for 3-5 minutes on medium heat till onions turn translucent.

Add in ginger-garlic pastes and sauté for another minute or two till it turns fragrant. Keep sauteing it on low heat till onion mixture turns dark brown.

Add in all the masalas and tomato puree, and fry for a couple of minutes. Once the mixture is blended well add the marinated chicken.

If the chicken masala starts to dry out and stick to the bottom of the pan, add in a table spoon of water.

Mix well, once the chicken starts to get bhunoed well, add in water to make gravy depending on the consistency you prefer.

Transfer this whole into a pressure cooker. Once the gravy starts to boil, close the lid of cooker.

Cook covered for about 2 whistles on high flame first and then lower the flame. Let it simmer for 5 to 7 minutes on low heat till chicken is completely cooked through.
