Fill a large pot with plenty of water to cook the rice so it becomes soft and fluffy.
Add 2-3 whole large cardamoms, 4 cloves, a piece of cinnamon stick, and a pinch of salt to the water to infuse aroma.
Pour in 2 tablespoons of cooking oil and add one cup of well-rinsed and soaked basmati rice (soaked for 20-25 minutes).
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then cook the rice for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is about 70% cooked but not fully done.
In a separate pan, sauté 3 medium sliced onions in oil until golden brown.
Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 3 minutes over low heat.
Stir in 2 medium chopped tomatoes and all the whole spices: 3 large cardamoms, 3 star anise, 3 small cardamoms, 2 cinnamon sticks, 5-6 cloves, and 1 bay leaf.
Add 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon red chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin powder, 1 tablespoon ground coriander leaves, and 1 teaspoon garam masala (without turmeric) to the oil.
Mix well and cook on low heat until the sauce blends and thickens.
Add 1 kg of cleaned and washed chicken pieces and stir thoroughly to coat with the spices.
