Chicken Cashew Curry

Ingredients:

Chicken and marinade:

  • 700 grams of boneless chicken cut into small strips
  • 1 cup Greek yoghurt
  • Pinch of turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • Salt & pepper, according to your taste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste

Additional ingredients:

  • 1 medium capsicum diced of your choice.
  • 1 tablespoon cashew nuts
  • 1 tablespoon (for pan cooking)

Method:

  1. Marinate chicken with all marinade ingredients for 30 minutes. It is best to cover and refrigerate it.
  2. Add 1 tablespoons olive oil in a RACO SmartRelease Nonstick 30cm Frypan.
  3. Add the marinated chicken. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes. The chicken will start to look a soften and go darker in colour.
  4. Add cashew nut and capsicum at last before you turn off the stove. This way the vegetables will have that crunch.

Tip: You can add water if you wish to keep more curry sauce.If you wish to have it dry let it cook for another 5 minutes on medium flame and let the water dry.
