:: How to make Chicken in Cashewnuts
In a frying pan dry roast the ginger, garlic, coriander
seeds, cumin seeds, pepper
corns, red chilies, cloves, cinnamon and grated coconut
over very low heat for 5
minutes. Then add the onions and 1/2 cup of cashew nuts
and roast for 10 more
minutes by stirring constantly. Grind these roasted spices
with little water to
make a very smooth paste.
Then grind another 1/4 cup of cashew nuts separately to a
fine paste and keep it
aside.
Heat oil in a large pan and add the ground spice paste and
fry for 10 minutes over
a low heat. Then add the ground cashew nuts paste and fry
for 2 more minutes.
Stir constantly. Add the chicken pieces and raise the heat
to medium and fry for 5
minutes. Then add 3 cups of water. Cover the pan and lower
the heat and cook
for 10 minutes. Add the remaining cashew nuts and cook
until the gravy is thick &
dark and the chicken is fully cooked. Serve hot with
chapathi or naan.
