A delightful, nutty Indian meal that can be spicy or mild, depending on your preferences.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds uncooked boneless chicken (breast or thigh) cut into 1-inch cubes
  • ½ cup cashews
  • 4 cloves garlic diced
  • 2-4 serrano peppers chopped
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups basmati rice for serving over

Spices

  • 1 tablespoon garam masala (an Indian spice blend)
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Add cashew nuts to a food processor, and lightly pulse to chop
  • Add all spices, tomato paste, and garlic to the food processor, along with 3 tablespoons of water, and pulse to combine. It should form a paste.
  • Transfer paste to a medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt, and stir to combine.
  • Add chopped, uncooked chicken to bowl, and stir until all of the chicken has been coated in the sauce.
  • Refrigerate for 1 hour, or up to 24 hours. (If you are short on time, you can skip this step, and the results will still taste great!)
  • Once you are ready to cook, heat the oil in a skillet. Cook the peppers and onions for 5 minutes until peppers are soft and onion is translucent.
  • Add in the chicken and marinade, as well as the ½ cup chicken stock. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the heavy cream, reduce heat to low, and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Serve over cooked basmati rice.
