Instructions

1
Give the chicken a quick marinade — salt, turmeric, chili — so it is seasoned to the bone, not the surface.
2
Soften the onions down slowly with a pinch of salt till they turn the colour of dark honey.
3
Build the masala: paste, tomato, powders — cook until thick, glossy and clearly done.
4
Add the marinated chicken with the yogurt; sear on high for five minutes, then add hot water to come halfway and simmer covered.
5
Reduce to your preferred consistency, rest five minutes, and finish with the cashews and cilantro.

Chef's tip

Never crowd the pot when searing; brown in batches if needed.
