Step 1

Mix the chicken with salt, pepper, Greek yogurt, ginger garlic paste, and a bit of oil. Give it a good stir and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour if you have time.

Step 2

While the chicken is marinating, blend the onion and green chillies until you get a smooth paste.

Step 3

Heat some oil in a wok or large pan, then add the peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, and green cardamom. Let them sizzle for about 30 seconds to release their aroma.

Step 4

Add the onion and chilli paste to the pan and cook it for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Then add the marinated chicken and cook on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Pour in some water, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes to cook the chicken through.

Step 6

While that’s cooking, blend the cashew nuts with milk until smooth. After the chicken has simmered, stir this cashew mixture and some cream into the stew.

Step 7

Let it cook for another 4-5 minutes, then sprinkle some fried onions on top and turn off the heat.

Step 8

Serve it hot, garnished with extra fried onions, lemon slices, and fresh coriander leaves. Enjoy!
