**Ingredients:**

- 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg & mace powder
- 2 teaspoons coriander powder
- 1½ teaspoons cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon chaat masala
- 1½ teaspoons garlic powder

- **Marination:**
- 500 grams boneless chicken breast fillets, cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons prepared spice mix
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon yellow food color

- **Gravy:**
- 1 cup yogurt (at room temperature)
- 1 medium onion, ground into a paste
- 2 tablespoons tomato puree
- 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon crushed red chili (adjust to taste)
- ¼ cup cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cream
- Fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)
- Ginger, julienned (for garnish)

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare the Spice Mix:**
- In a bowl, combine all the spice mix ingredients. Mix well and set aside.

2. **Marinate the Chicken:**
- In a separate bowl, add the chicken cubes, 2 tablespoons of the prepared spice mix, lemon juice, and yellow food color. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is well-coated. Set aside to marinate for about 30 minutes.

3. **Cook the Chicken:**
- In a pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

4. **Prepare the Gravy:**
- In the same pan, add the ground onion paste and sauté until it turns golden brown.
- Add the ginger garlic paste and cook for another minute.
- Incorporate the tomato puree and crushed red chili. Cook until the oil separates from the mixture.
- Reduce the heat and add the yogurt. Stir continuously to prevent curdling and cook until the mixture is well-blended and the oil surfaces.

5. **Combine Chicken and Gravy:**
- Return the cooked chicken to the pan. Mix well to ensure the chicken is coated with the gravy.
- If using, add the grated cheddar cheese and cream. Stir to combine and cook for a few more minutes until the cheese melts and the gravy reaches the desired consistency.

6. **Garnish and Serve:**
