Slice the onion and the tomatoes. Now heat oil in a pot and fry them till well mixed and the mixture leaves oil. Now blend the entire mixture with green chilies. Keep aside.
In the same pot, fry ginger-garlic paste and chicken for ten minutes. Now add the blended mixture, 1/4th cup water and the spices (red chili powder, red chili flakes, Chinese salt, salt, and cumin seeds).
Cook for two minutes and now add the fenugreek leaves and yogurt and cook for three more minutes. Right in the ends, two minutes before serving add the garam masala, black pepper and cream in the handi. Garnish with green chilies and coriander. Serve with naan!

*To get the distinct flavor, I cooked all of it in a clay pot. It can be cooked in a steel/aluminum pot as well, but the typical 'handi' flavor might be lacking.
