U can start up by pasting the cooked onion and saoked cashews and cuscus and keep aside
Now heat ghee in aan iron kadayi or wat u have at home....a non stick will also do....
Add the garlic paste and saute for few secs till the raw smell of the garlic dissappears
Add the powders (corriander,chilly,turmeric) and saute for 3-4 minutes
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook till soft
Now add in the green chillies , chopped ginger and some chopped corriander leaves and saute again for few minutes
Throw in the cleaned chicken pieces with enough salt , and cook on a low flame till the chicken is done
Once the curry thickens add the garam masala pwd and kasuri methi
Finally add the pasted onion ,cashew mix and let it boil till the oil seperates
Finally garnish with the remaining corriander leaves...
(If u want more gravy add some more water while pasting the cashews..here i added only little water ,dats why it looks like a masala..but the taste is always the same...YUMMYYYYYY...
