My experiment successfully came out well. Preparing this delicious dish too became easy since I was using some masala powders, tomato puree and whipping cream. Cooking time : Takes an hour. Serves 7 - 10.

Ingredients :
Large Onions - 2, finely chopped
Chicken Leg Pieces - 10, pierce lightly for taste
Whipping Cream - Half Pint(236mL)
Tomato Puree - 15 oz(425g)
Coriander Powder - 1/2 tbsp
Garam Masala powder - 1 tbsp
Chicken Curry Masala Powder - 2-4 tbsp(depends)
ginger paste - 1/2 tbsp
salt - To taste
Red Chilli Powder - 1/2 tbsp(depends)
Fresh Coriander Leaves - To garnish
Oil - 3 tbsp
Marinate chicken for 1 to 2 hours with the mixture of
Yogurt - 1 cup
Lemon - 1/2
Garlic Paste - 1 tbsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tbsp
Salt - little
Red Chilli Powder - 1/4 tbsp
Chicken Masala Powder - 1-2 tbsp
For Seasoning,
Bay Leaf - 1
Cloves - 5
Cinnamon Sticks - 1/2 stick
Cumin Seeds - 1/2 tbsp
Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tbsp
Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tbsp

Method :
Heat oil in the pan. Add the seasonings for flavour and let the seeds splutter. Now, fry onion in it until it turns golden brown. Add salt and ginger paste and fry for 2 minutes. Now add tomato puree and the marinated chicken along with the mentioned masala powders. Mix all once and let it cook completely. Now add whipping cream and mix well for 10 minutes in between. It is done when the oil gets separated or when the chicken gets tender. Now, add fresh coriander leaves, to garnish.
Goes well with rice and indian bread.
