Instructions
 

Marinating the chicken:

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken and all the marination ingredients - salt, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, ginger and garlic paste, lime juice, chopped onion, chopped green chilies, coriander, mint leaves, curd, and ghee.
  • Mix all the ingredients well, making sure the chicken is well-coated.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour.

Cooking the chicken:

  • Heat a kadai (wok) over medium heat, and add oil or ghee.
  • Once the oil is heated, add the chopped onions and shah jeera (cumin seeds) and fry until the onions turn golden brown.
  • Add ginger and garlic paste, and fry for another minute.
  • Add the marinated chicken to the kadai and mix well with the onions and spices. Close the lid and let it cook.
  • Keep stirring the chicken occasionally, until the oil separates from the chicken.
  • Add tomato puree and mix well. Close the lid and cook for another few minutes until the rawness of the tomatoes is gone and you can see oil on top.
  • Add cashew and almond paste and mix well. Close the lid and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Add fresh cream and mix well. Close the lid and let it sit for a minute.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander and more fresh cream, and serve hot with rice or rotis.
