Why Everyone Loves This Recipe

This dish combines the rich, creamy flavor of almonds with a blend of warm spices, creating a comforting and unique curry. It’s both satisfying and nutritious, perfect for those who enjoy a mild yet flavorful meal.

Tips For Better Flavor

- Soak the almonds for at least 2 hours to make them easier to blend into a smooth paste.
- Toast whole spices lightly before grinding to enhance their aroma.
- Cook the curry on low heat to allow the flavors to meld together deeply.

Step 1

Heat some oil in a large pan. Add the onions and cook them until they turn a nice light golden brown. Once done, take them out and set aside. Then, toss in the star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves, and peppercorns, and let them cook for about a minute to release their aroma.

Step 2

Add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until it starts to brown. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and mix everything well.

Step 3

While the chicken is cooking, blend together the yogurt, fried onions, green chilies, cashew nuts, almonds, turmeric, coriander powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, chili flakes, and salt until you get a smooth paste.

Step 4

Pour this paste over the chicken, stir to combine, then cover the pan and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes so all the flavors come together.

Step 5

Finish off by tossing in some fresh coriander leaves and a bit of pepper. Give it a final stir and serve it hot.

Serving Ideas To Try

Serve the curry with steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread to soak up the sauce. A side of fresh cucumber raita or a simple salad can add a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors.

How To Preserve This Dish

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to prevent the sauce from separating, and add a splash of water if it becomes too thick.
