Makes 4 servings of 250 g each
~ 347 Kcal | 20 G P | 25 g F | 12 g C per serving
Ingredients (using ~500 g bone-in chicken)
Nut & coconut paste
• 10–15 cashews
• 10 almonds
• 3 tbsp desiccated coconut
• Water, as needed
Marinade
• 500 g bone-in chicken
• ½ cup thick curd
• 1½ tbsp ginger-garlic paste
• 2–3 slit green chilies
• 1 cup browned onions
- Thinly slice 2 large onions, toss with a few drops of oil, microwave on high for 10-12 mins, stirring every two mins, until golden OR air fry at 180°C for 10–12 mins until browned.
• Handful mint leaves
• Handful coriander leaves
• 1 tbsp green chili sauce
• 1 tbsp red chili sauce
• 2 tsp dark soy sauce
• ¼ tsp turmeric powder
• 2–3 tbsp Kashmiri chili powder (for color - adjust acc to spice)
• 1 tbsp coriander powder
• 1 tsp garam masala
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp ghee
For cooking
• 1 tbsp neutral oil
• Few curry leaves
• 2 tsp fresh cream
• Chopped coriander leaves
Method
1️⃣ Blend cashews, almonds, desiccated coconut, and water into a smooth paste.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, combine the nut paste with all the marinade ingredients.
3️⃣ Add chicken and coat well.
Marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
4️⃣ Heat oil in a heavy pan. Add curry leaves and let them crackle.
5️⃣ Transfer the entire marinated chicken into the pan. Cook on low–medium heat, covered, for 40–45 minutes, stirring occasionally so the masala doesn’t burn.
6️⃣ Once oil separates, the gravy deepens to a darker red, and the chicken becomes tender and almost fall-off-the-bone, add fresh cream and chopped coriander. Switch off heat.
7️⃣ Rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with soft roti or rice.
⭐ Tip
This curry tastes even better after resting 1–2 hours or when reheated later — the masala settles and deepens beautifully.
