Instructions

Marination

• Add chicken, salt, pepper and lemon juice to a bowl and mix well. Set aside for 20-30 minutes and allow to marinate.

Onion Cashew Paste

Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan and add the sliced onions. Fry on medium heat for 4 minutes till the onions are soft and translucent.

• Add the chopped ginger and garlic and keep frying on medium heat for 1 minute.

Cook the onion mixture and then add it to a mixer grinder with cashew nuts. Grind to a smooth paste, use 2-3 tablespoons of water if required. Set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and place the marinated chicken pieces side by side. Cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and allow it to heat up on a medium flame. Add the whole spices and saute for 30 seconds to a minute.

• Add the onion cashew paste that was ground earlier and cook for 5-6 minutes on medium heat till you see oil separating from the sides.

• Add the fried chicken pieces and fry on medium heat for 2-3 minutes

• Reduce the heat to low and add the whisked yogurt, garam masala and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously till oil separates.

Now add green chillies and ¾ cup of water. Mix well, cover & simmer on low heat for 15 minutes till chicken pieces are tender and cooked through.

• Add pepper and kasuri methi, mix and simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot.
