½ kg chicken (washed and cleaned) 3 tbsp curd 2 onions (sliced) 5-7 cashews ½ cup tomato puree 1 tbsp coriander leaves ¼ cup oil 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp red chilli powder 1 tsp coriander powder Salt, as per taste
Marinate the cleaned chicken for 30 minutes with 1 tbsp curd, and half tsp each of turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder and salt. Mix well.
Heat oil in a pan and saute onion until brown and crispy. Shallow fry cashews separately. In the same oil, shallow fry chicken pieces. Take out once 80% cooked.
Now blend fried cashews, onions and a dash of salt into a fine paste.
Use the leftover oil to cook tomato puree and onion paste together. Cook until it starts to leave oil.
Now add half tsp each of the spices and 2 tbsp curd. Mix the masala well for about 7 minutes.
Add the fried chicken pieces to the masala followed by ¼ cup of water and cook the chicken well.
