Why to mix curd in grinder ? It can be added over chicken. Too much coriander seeds are used. Cooked chicken looks harder. It should be soft. Bay leaf is not used. By the way recipe looks good.
Curd is used to make a paste instead of adding water. Goan garam masala base uses coriander seeds. We need that amount for 2.5 kg Chicken. My family recipe does not use bay leaf. Chicken is not hard as it is marinated in curd first and then cooked in it's own liquid. Thank you for the comment. I hope I have addressed your concerns.
