Garam masala is known as all spices or whole spices. It is a blend of different spices ground together such as cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaf, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, peppercorn, mace and nut meg. To give the dish its flavor and aroma garam masala is used in most of the curries, gravies and rice as well.

Apart for egg washes, beaten egg is used as a coating, binding and flavoring agent in some recipes. Eggs are a very good source of inexpensive, high quality protein. More than half the protein of an egg is found in the egg white along with vitamin B2 and lower amounts of fat than the yolk. Eggs are rich sources of selenium, vitamin D, B6, B12 and minerals such as zinc, iron and copper.

Cream is a dairy product composed of the higher-butterfat layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. In un-homogenized milk, the fat, which is less dense, will eventually rise to the top. In the industrial production of cream, this process is accelerated by using centrifuges called "separators". In many countries, it is sold in several grades depending on the total butterfat content. It can be dried to a powder for shipment to distant markets, and is known to contain high levels of saturated fat

The boneless chicken needs to be thoroughly marinated to ensure that the meat is sufficiently tender and is thoroughly infused with the flavors of the curry.
