Method
- Cut chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and mix thoroughly with tikka paste and plain yogurt. Marinate in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours.
- Thread marinated chicken onto bamboo skewers and broil in the oven for 10-12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway, until charred and almost cooked through.
- While the chicken broils, heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and fry for 3-5 minutes until translucent.
- Add garlic paste and ginger paste; stir for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in turmeric, ground coriander, cumin, chili powder, and garam masala; cook for 2-3 minutes to bloom the spices.
- Mix the remaining marinade with 1/2 cup lukewarm water and slowly add to the pan, allowing about half to evaporate.
- Add tomato sections and salt; cook until tomatoes begin to soften.
- Stir in ground cashews and heavy cream, then add the broiled chicken pieces.
- Cover and simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Notes
For optimal flavor and tenderness, marinate the chicken for the full 6 hours.
