Ingredients | Methi Chicken Recipes Indian

2 teaspoons garam masala

2 teaspoons tandoori masala powder

2 teaspoons Madras curry powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon ground cardamom

½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces

3 tablespoons butter, divided

1 yellow onion, chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons chopped fresh ginger

1 cup tomato puree

1 cup half-and-half

¼ cup plain yogurt

⅓ cup cashews

1 bunch fresh cilantro, stems removed

Directions

Mix garam masala, tandoori masala, curry, cumin, cardamom, cayenne, salt, and black pepper together in a small bowl to make spice mixture.

Place chicken in a large bowl and add 1/2 the spice mixture; turn to coat evenly.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in remainder of the spice mixture, lemon juice, garlic, and ginger; cook and stir until combined, about 1 minute.

Stir tomato puree into onion mixture and cook, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Pour in half-and-half and yogurt. Reduce heat to low and simmer sauce, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

Blend cashews in a blender until finely ground. Add sauce to the blender; puree until smooth.

Pour blended sauce over chicken in the skillet. Simmer until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.

If you have trouble finding tandoori masala, it is a blend of paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic, ginger, and cardamom.
