For the Chicken
Heat a large saucepan on medium heat and add oil.

Once the oil is hot, add finely chopped onion and sauté till translucent . This will take about 2-3 minutes. 

To the softened onions,  add the ginger paste and garlic paste and sauté till the raw smell goes away. 

Next, add bay leaves, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and black pepper and mix everything well.

In a mixer jar combine, tomato and green chillies and grind into a puree and add it to the pan.
When the oil starts to separate, add the chicken and mix. Add 4 cups of water and the Mandi spice powder according to your taste.   Mix, cover and let it cook for about 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, turn off the heat. 

We will furthermore bake the chicken, to get a crispy skin. 

In a small mixing bowl, add soft butter and Mandi spice powder and some salt, mix well and keep aside. 

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees centigrade. Remove the chicken from the stock and place it  onto a baking tray and brush with butter and mandi spice powder mixture.

Heat a piece of charcoal on direct flame until it is sred hot, this will take about 5 minutes.

Once the charcoal is burning hot, place it in the bowl of ghee that is in the rice. Immediately slide back the aluminium foil and secure with lid.

Open it only at the time of serving, as it gives a nice smokey flavor to the rice. To serve, spread rice onto a large serving tray and place a piece of baked chicken on the top.
