Rating - 4.5/5

Ingredients

Marinade

Chicken - 2 lbs (small pieces)
Ginger garlic paste - 2 tbsp
Turmeric - 1/2 tsp
Chili powder - 1 tsp
Curds - 1/4 cup
Salt  - 1 tsp

Masala

Red chilies - 10-12
Cashews (broken into small pieces) - 3/4 cup (~30 broken into small pieces)
Curry leaves - 1 cup
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt - as required

Preparation method

  • Marinate chicken in Ginger garlic paste, curds, 1 tsp salt, turmeric and chili powder for 1 hour
  • Toast cashews, red chilis,  and curry leaves until well toasted and dry. Allow to cool. Grind to make masala powder
  • Heat oil in a plan. Add marinated chicken and fry until water has evaporated
  • Add ground masala. Fry until oil separates and chicken is cooked well

Note

  • Cashews take the longest to toast. Red chilies take the next most time and curry leaves toast quickly. Best to toast them separately
  • Toasting curry leaves removes the oils and brings in a subtle flavor as opposed to the usual intense flavors
