Make a ginger-garlic paste by blending equal amounts of fresh young ginger and garlic with a little water until smooth.
Remove the skin from the chicken thighs and cut the meat into halves.
Prepare the first marinade by mixing lemon juice, salt, ginger-garlic paste, and chili powder. Marinate the chicken in this mixture at room temperature for at least 1 to 1.5 hours.
Heat the mustard oil until almost smoking, then let it cool to warm.
Add chili powder, turmeric, ginger-garlic paste, salt, and garam masala to the warm mustard oil and stir to combine.
For the second marinade, mix yogurt with the prepared spiced oil mixture.
Drain the chicken from the first marinade, then coat the pieces well in the yogurt marinade. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
For the makhani sauce: blend tomatoes with a little water, ginger-garlic paste, chili, and salt. Add tied coriander stems and simmer.
Prepare the onion-tomato masala by frying sliced red onion in oil, seasoning gradually with salt until golden brown.
Add chopped green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, and chili powder to the onion masala and mix well.
