Take a piece of muslin cloth and place on a worktop. Place remaining bay leaf, remaining cloves, remaining peppercorns and remaining cinnamon on it and seal to make a bundle (potli).

Add potli, 200 ml milk and 100 ml water in the cooker. Cover and pressure cook for 25-30 minutes. After 1 whistle, reduce heat and cook further. Remove from heat and rest for ½ an hour.

Discard potli and puree the cooked ingredients into a smooth gravy. Transfer into a deep non-stick pan.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in another non-stick pan. Add marinated chicken and cook turning sides for 2-3 minutes or till lightly browned.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter and remaining oil in another non-stick pan. Add chopped garlic and sauté till lightly browned.Add remaining Kashmiri red chilli powder, mix well and cook for ½ a minute.

Add some cooked gravy in the pan and mix well. Transfer this back to the rest of the gravy, mix well and cook for another 5-10 minutes.

Place a steel bowl in the pan with the chicken gravy. Put the heated coal piece in the bowl and add 1 tablespoon butter on it. Cover immediately and set aside for 5 minutes or till the smoky flavour gets infused into the gravy. Remove the cover and strain the coal butter into the gravy. Mix well.
