Directions
- 1Start by making a paste of cashews, almonds, and some dry coconut powder or desiccated coconut along with some water.
- 2Add this into a bowl along with some curd, ginger garlic paste, slit green chillies, brown onions which you can make in the microwave or air fryer, coriander and mint leaves, some dark soy sauce, red chili sauce and green chili sauce. Lemon juice, turmeric powder, lots of Kashmiri chili powder, some coriander powder, garam masala, salt, pepper and a few teaspoons of ghee.
- 3Mix this really well until you get this bright red marinade.
- 4Use this to marinate some bone-in chicken. Marinate this for at least 1 to 2 hours, but if you are able to leave it overnight, then nothing like it.
- 5Now heat some oil in a pan, add a few curry leaves and into this add in the marinated chicken.
- 6Cover and cook on a low to medium flame for about 40 to 45 minutes.
- 7Make sure to lift the lid and stir this occasionally so that it doesn't burn.
- 8Cook it until the gravy thickens and the oil begins to separate.
- 9Finish it off with a drizzle of fresh cream, some chopped coriander leaves.
- 10Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- 11Serve it up with some soft rotis and just enjoy.

Tips
- This curry tastes even better after resting 1–2 hours or when reheated later — the masala settles and deepens beautifully.
- Marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
- Make sure to lift the lid and stir the chicken occasionally so that it doesn't burn.
