for this recipe you need-

10-12 pieces of chicken, skinned(I used a mixture of various pieces from a whole chicken)
6-7 tbsp of plain yogurt
2 handfuls of cashewnuts, ground to a thick and slightly coarse paste with a few tblsps of water
1 tsp crushed red chilli flakes(more or less, as per taste.)
1 tbsp roasted and ground cumin
1 tbsp garam masala powder
a large pinch of saffron
2 C water (may need more later on )
3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed
2 bay leaves
1/3 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste
a bunch of coriander, chopped ( for garnishing)


How to make -

1. Rub the chicken with the rest of the ingredients, (except the coriander, of course)in a bowl and transfer to a pan.
2. Place the pan over heat and bring the contents to a boil.
3. Stir and cook covered over low heat till the chicken is done, stirring often in between.
4. While cooking, if the gravy tends to dry out, keep adding little water gradually, as the chicken will leave its juices too.
5. When the chicken is cooked completely, raise the heat and bring to a boil again for a few seconds.
6. Remove from heat and garnish with the chopped coriander.
7. Serve hot with rice or rotis/puris.
