Put vegetable oil and all the ingredients in a pot.

Crush the ginger with the skin intact if you can.
10
Stir fry over low heat until fragrant.
11
Add sliced onion and stir fry.
12
When the slices have wilted, add grated onion.
13
You don't have to caramelized the onion slices - just cook until they smell sweet.
14
The cumin scent is very strong, so you may not be able to discern from the onion fragrance, but after making this a few times you'll get used to detecting it.
15
Add potatoes and stir fry.
16
When the pieces start to become translucent, turn the heat off.
17
Heat a little oil in a frying pan, and pan fry the chicken from Step 1.

Add white wine and boil for about 10 seconds.
19
Add the chicken with the pan juices to the pot from Step 5.

The cinnamon stick should have softened and fallen apart at this stage, so take it out.

27
Finally, add garam masala and cardamon powder and mix in.

31
The red chili pepper in the photo is for garnishing, and not for eating.
32
It's hard to measure spices packed as in the Step 13 photo with a measuring spoon, so I looked it up in books and it seems that most powdered spices are 2 g for 1 teaspoon.
33
I don't think you need to be too particular about this, but if you are wondering, use as reference.
34
Bonus: I used mixed fruit yogurt to marinate the chicken instead of plain yogurt (see photo, back right).
35
Since I add mango chutney to the curry sometimes, I thought it may work.
36
It was delicious.
