To marinate the chicken, take a mixing bowl and add all the ingredients. Mix well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the green paste. Take a deep bottomed vessel and bring water to a boil. Add the spinach, coriander leaves, and green chilies. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes.
Then drain the water and let the mixture come to room temperature.
Once the mixture has cooled enough, blend it into a smooth paste.
Now, start the chicken curry by heating oil in a pan. Add the cumin seeds, dry red chilies, and bayleaf. Saute.
Add the onions next and saute. Cook for 30-40 seconds.

Add the chicken masala and salt next and mix well. Let it cook for a minute.
