  • 2 tsp Butter
  • Vegetable oil

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken

  • First, wash the chicken pieces and put them into a mixing bowl.
  • Next, dry roast the black peppercorns. Roast them until they are fragrant and then keep them aside to cool down a bit.
  • Now, grind them using a sil batta/mortar and pestle/grinder.
  • After that, add one tbsp of whisked Sour curd/yogurt, salt to taste, and 1 tsp of freshly ground black pepper into the mixing bowl containing the pieces of chicken.
  • Mix and combine all the ingredients. Coat the chicken pieces really well and keep them in the fridge for about 40 minutes.

Prepare the ingredients

  • While the chicken is resting, soak the cashews (if using) in warm water for about 10 minutes.
  • After that, take them out of the water and grind them along with sour curd /yogurt. Make them into a creamy paste and keep them aside.
  • Next, blend the ginger, clove of garlic, and the green chilis.

Prepare the gravy

  • After the chicken pieces are well-rested and all the masala preparations are ready, take a kadhai. Add some oil and heat it until it smokes a little.
  • Now, add the bay leaves, black cardamom, green cardamom, and cloves to the oil.
  • Stir them for some time in the oil until the fragrance is released from the aromatics.
  • After around a minute, add the finely chopped onions and stir. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes or until they start to turn translucent.
  • Next, add in the ginger, garlic, and green chili paste. Combine everything and stir consistently.
  • Fry them until the raw smell goes away.
  • Now, take out all the whole spices from the kadhai and then add the cashews and sour curd/yogurt paste.
  • Stir them nicely with all the other ingredients. Keep on stirring for about 5 minutes.
  • Add 1/2 cup water and stir. Cover the kadhai with a lid and let the gravy simmer for around 6-8 minutes. Stir it occasionally.
  • Add salt to taste and sugar to balance the salt. Keep the flame on medium.
  • After about 6-8 minutes remove the lid and stir consistently by scraping from the sides and bottom.
  • Cook it until you see the oil is separating out of the gravy.

Add the chicken pieces

  • Now, add the pieces of marinated chicken and stir well.
  • Cover the kadhai again and let the chicken cook in the gravy for about 10-15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes, remove the lid and check the chicken. Also, take a taste test.
  • By now the chicken should be tender and cooked to perfection.
  • Stir and then add the freshly ground black pepper.
  • Combine everything well and let them cook for 3-5 more minutes.
  • Next, add the butter and stir.
  • Turn off the flame and transfer the chicken into a bowl.

Garnish

  • Garnish it by drizzling a tbsp of fresh cream.
