Instructions

How to make Shahi chicken Curry

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil or ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and bay leaf. Sauté for about a minute until they release their aroma.
Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 7-8 minutes.
Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they turn soft and mushy, about 5-6 minutes.
While the onions and tomatoes are cooking, blend the soaked cashew nuts with yogurt until smooth.
Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the chicken pieces to the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until the chicken pieces are lightly browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the cashew-yogurt mixture and mix well with the chicken and spices. Let it simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the gravy thickens.
Once the chicken is cooked, sprinkle garam masala over the curry and mix well. Adjust salt and spices according to your taste.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.
