- For the garam masala: Combine the bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, cloves, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, and peppercorns in a saucepan over medium heat. Toast the spices until fragrant, stirring, for 7 to 8 minutes. Let cool, and then grind in a spice blender until it becomes a fine powder.
- For the chicken: Add the water, curry powder, Garam Masala, garlic, ginger paste, lemon juice, salt, pepper and vinegar to a large tub. Mix well, and then add the chicken. Refrigerate and let brine for 24 hours.
