1. Prepare the coconut milk. Then, in a small food processor, process together the onion, chickpea flour, cinnamon, and cloves until smooth. Remove to a bowl, then process together the ginger, garlic, green chili peppers, chopped almonds, 1 tablespoon oil, and salt to make a smooth paste.
2. Place the chicken in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the ginger-garlic-almond paste and mix well, making sure all the pieces are well-coated with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at least 4 and up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
3. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick wok or saucepan over medium heat and cook the sliced almonds and raisins, stirring, until the almonds are golden, about 1 minute. Drain well and remove to a bowl.
4. To the same oil, add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add the onion paste, then add the yogurt, a little at a time, stirring constantly to prevent it from curdling. Cover the pan, reduce the heat, and cook, stirring once or twice, until the yogurt is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
5. Add the coconut milk, cover the pan again, and continue to simmer until the chicken is tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, scatter the fried almonds and raisins and the mint leaves on top, and serve.
