2. Dry roast ingredients 11 through 18 and make a fine powder.

3. Heat oil in a thick bottomed pan or shallow vessel. Fry the cashew nuts till light brown and curry leaves till crisp. Drain and keep aside.

4. In the same oil, fry onions till light brown, add ginger garlic paste and when oil leaves the sides, add the tomatoes and fry till raw smell disappears.

5. Now add the remaining chilly powder, salt to taste and then the marinated chicken pieces. Mix well and cook for about 5 mins on high flame, turning the pieces over from time to time, taking care not to over-burn the pieces. Use wooden ladle for better results.

You can also consume it with steaming hot Basmati rice with little ghee and fresh lemon squeezed in.

This recipe is sufficient for 6-8 persons.
