Instructions
- Begin with soaking the cashew nuts in hot water for about 10 minutes.
- Rub turmeric powder over the chicken and keep it aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a pan, add the chopped onions and saute. Cook the onions till they turn deep brown on medium heat. This process of caramelising the onions will take about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Once the onions have browned, transfer to a food processor or grinder along with the garlic cloves, green chillies, ginger, cashew nuts, and ¼ cup of water. Grind this to a smooth paste.
- In the same pan, heat the remaining ghee. Add bay leaf, cardamom pods, cinnamon, and cloves. Saute for about a minute, and then add the onion paste.
- Cook the paste on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Add chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Saute for about 2 to 3 minutes
- Add the chicken with ¼ cup of water. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes or till the chicken has cooked thoroughly. If the gravy is too thick, add a little water to thin it down.
- Add cream and switch off the flame. Let the Mughlai chicken curry sit for about 10 minutes before serving it hot with parathas or rice.
Recipe Notes
- Saute the onions till they get a nice deep brown colour. This caramelisation process will add flavour to the gravy, so make sure not to skip it.
- Grind the ginger, garlic, green chillies, cashew nuts, and browned onions with water to a smooth puree. This is important as this will form the texture of the gravy.
- Cook the onion paste till it gets a nice light brown colour. Keep frequently stirring as it may stick.
- Cook the paste until the oil separates.
