I usually use more onions when you have to fry them at the beginning. I also use more fresh ginger and garlic paste.

If you want to know step by step, here it is:

1 cup oil
4 medium onions, thinly sliced
5 tsp garlic and ginger paste each
3-4 lbs chicken or other meats
1 tsp corriander powder
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp garam masala
1.5 - 2 tsp salt
4 large tomatoes, finely diced
1 cup yogurt
4-5 green chillies, whole
fresh chopped corriander
3-4 cup basmati rice, rinsed and soaked for 15 min

1. Brown the onions on medium only until it is light brown in oil.
2. Add the garlic and ginger pastes and fry a bit.
3. Add the meat (preferably cut up in small pieces) and stir until coated in the masala (mixture). Cook covered until the meat turns a whitish colour.
4. Then add the powdered spices and stir. Fry for a while (10 - 15 min).
5. Add tomatoes and stir. Cover and cook until the tomatoes wilt.
6. Add Yogurt and cook until all the oil rises to the top of the pot.
Meanwhile, fill another pot with around 10 cups of water and bring to boil.
7. Garnish with green chillies and corriander. Cover.
8. Once the water in the other pot boils, add the rice and 2 tsp of salt. Cook only until there is a white (raw) line in the middle of a grain of rice. This means that it is partially cooked (which is what you want here).
9. Drain the water and add the rice to the top of the other pot of meat (by the way, your meat pot should be big enough to hold the curry and the rice!). Place the lid on the pot and cover with a large pieces of foil until all the cracks between the lid and the pot are covered (to keep the steam in).
10. Place in the oven (350 F) for 20 minutes.
11. Once done, gently mix the mixture with the rice trying not to break the rice grains.
12. Cover and serve whenever your guests come (or for yourself!)

Enjoy!

By the way, cut your recipe in half if there are only a few people eating! This makes enough to feed like 10 people!

Dry lamb cubes with paper towels and add to the spice mixture, taking care not to splatter. Saut? for about 10 minutes, or until they are seared and brown.
Add apricots, raisins, cashews, half the almonds, bay leaves, and 1 tsp. salt. Pour into chicken stock, cover pan, and simmer until lamb is tender, about 35 to 40 minutes. Taste the mixture and add more salt if necessary. Remove pan from heat. Remove and discard
