1. In a food processor, process the fenugreek leaves until minced. Transfer to a cast-iron or nonstick wok or saucepan. In the same food processor, process together the yogurt and water until smooth.
2. Place the wok with the fenugreek leaves over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until all the moisture dries up (there is always some water clinging to the leaves after they are washed). Reduce the heat to medium-low, add 1 tablespoon oil and roast, stirring the leaves, until they are fragrant and much darker in color, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove to a bowl.
3. Add the remaining oil to the same wok and cook the onions over medium-high heat, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, and green chili pepper, stir 1 minute, then mix in the chicken, coriander, 1 teaspoon garam masala, paprika, turmeric, and salt. Cook the chicken, stirring as needed, until it is golden on all sides, about 7 minutes.
4. Mix in the cooked fenugreek leaves and the yogurt-water mixture and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring as needed, until the chicken is very tender, the sauce thick, and the oil separates to the sides, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with the 1/4 teaspoon garam masala, and serve.
