Throw everything that was just cut up (onions, tomatoes, cashews) into the pan.
6
Mix it all together for about 5 minutes.
7
Add a little more salt, ginger paste, and minced garlic to the mixture.
8
Mix it all together and then blend until everything is smooth.

Strain the blended sauce (this step was forgotten in the video, but recommended).
10
To the same pan, add some butter.
11
Throw the marinated chicken in the pan and let it cook until fully cooked.
12
Once the chicken is fully cooked, throw the strained sauce back into the pan.

Add a little bit of Greek yogurt.
15
Add about a cup of heavy cream (or whipping cream).

Add some sugar and a little bit of ketchup for sweet and tanginess.

Plate everything up and enjoy, possibly with garlic naan.
