Instructions:-
1. In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
2. Add the cumin seeds, black peppercorns, green and black cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf to the pan. Sauté for a minute until aromatic.
3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for a couple of minutes until the raw aroma disappears.
4. Add the chicken or beef pieces to the pan and brown them for about 5-7 minutes.
5. In a bowl, whisk the yogurt until smooth. Add the whisked yogurt to the browned meat along with coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, kashmiri red chilly powder and salt. Mix well to combine.
6. Pour in about 1 to 1.5 cups of water, cover the pan, and let it simmer on low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the meat/chicken is half tender and the flavors have melded together. Check occasionally and add more water if needed. The gravy shall not stick! Stir occasionally.
7. Once the meat/chicken is half tender and the gravy has thickened a bit, sprinkle garam masala over the Qorma and stir gently.
8. Now add the fried onions, ghee on top and some water ( if required) in the gravy and cook another 10-15 min on very slow flame covered until the ghee has separated.
