Ingredients

  • 170 g Chicken breast, boneless, skinless, raw
  • 20 g Cream, heavy
  • 10 g Cashews
  • 20 g Yogurt, plain
  • 4 g Garlic, raw
  • 3 g Ginger, fresh

  1. Soak the cashews in a little hot water for 15 minutes, then blend to a smooth paste.
  2. Cut the chicken into cubes and mix with the cashew paste, cream, yogurt, garlic, ginger, white pepper, garam masala, lemon juice, oil and salt.
  3. Marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, so the chicken turns tender and creamy.
