CHICKEN CASHEW COCKNEY

Chicken Cashew Cockney : the name sounds fancy; isn’t  it ? Ah yes, it is again,  something which popped out of one of my experiments. And the reason behind the name ?? Well, as you will see, the gravy has a chicken base and I have used the term ‘ cockney ‘ not for the simple pleasure of alliteration but for the fact that this dish of   chicken, like the Cockney dialect of English , does not belong to the mainstream and is prepared with a blend of various elements.  Here is the list of INGREDIENTS  you need to make this :

(1) Chicken. (500 gms ).

(2) Vinegar .

(3) Cumin powder ( 2 tablespoon).

(4) Coriander Powder . ( 2 tablespoon).

(5) Cashew paste. (2 cups ).

(6) Onion paste. ( 4 onions).

(7) Garlic paste. ( ½ garlic).

(8) Chili paste. ( 4 tablespoon).

(9) Ginger paste. ( 2 tablespoon).

(10)   Salt.

(11)    Pepper.

(12)     Sunflower oil.

              Now that you have all the ingredients arranged, just follow these easy STEPS.:

(1) Marinate the chicken in vinegar for a couple of hours.

(2) Heat sunflower oil in pan.

(3) Fry the onion and garlic paste till it becomes golden brown.

(4) Take the cashew paste  in a bowl and add salt ( 2 – 2.5 tablespoon ) , chili paste , ginger paste, cumin powder, coriander powder. Mix well to form the batter.

(5) Now pour the batter and stir for around 2- 3 minutes.

(6) Add the chicken.

(7) Now, add  5- 6 cups of water.

(8) Close the lid and let it cook for 12- 15 minutes.

(9)  Sprinkle some pepper and cook for another 2 minutes and turn off the oven.

                  The dish is now ready. Garnish it and serve it.Enjoy J Do let me know how it goes. Thank you J
