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

Method

- Cut the chicken into cubes and mix with the cashew paste, cream, yogurt, garlic, ginger, white pepper, garam masala, lemon juice, oil and salt.
- Marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, so the chicken turns tender and creamy.
