Cashew nuts: Add flavour and creaminess without all that extra fat that can sometimes get too much and make you feel bloated.Onions: Some recipes don't use onions at all, but I like to use them in a very small quantity to balance the flavours. ![]() Ginger Garlic paste: Use store bought or homemade - basically ginger and garlic ground together.Spices: Red Chilli powder (use paprika or cayenne as a substitute), coriander, turmeric, salt and garam masala (preferably homemade - here's my garam masala recipe).Acts as a tenderiser and helps the spices stick to the chicken I love using boneless, skinless chicken thighs because you can cut the meat into bite sized pieces and they stay juicy right to the end.

Pour in the heavy cream and add the chicken and any liquids left behind in the baking dish. Then add the tomato paste and cook until the paste begins to turn light brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the Kashmiri chilli powder, toasted cumin, garlic, ginger, garam masala, and green chilli. Once the butter begins to foam, stir in the oil. Melt the butter in a medium Dutch oven or saucepan over low heat. At the 20-minute mark of cooking the chicken, start the sauce.Transfer the baking dish to the upper rack of the oven, and then broil over high for 2 to 4 minutes, until the chicken starts to char in a few spots. Roast the chicken in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 164F/74C, 30 to 45 minutes (boneless chicken takes about 20 minutes), rotating the dish halfway through during cooking.
