• Method:

• Mix marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add chicken and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Soak cashews in water for 1 hour. Grind to paste. Set aside.
• Preheat grill to medium high heat or oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• Remove chicken from marinade and thread onto skewers. Discard remaining marinade. Grill for 5-8 minutes until almost done. Or bake on a foil lined and greased baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, until almost done. Baste a couple of times in between with ghee or oil.  Keep utensils clean to prevent contamination from raw chicken juice.
• Heat a thick bottom pan on medium high heat. Add butter. As it melts, add ginger garlic paste. Sauté for 20-25 seconds.
• Stir in tomato pureé. Cook for 8-10 minutes, until it turns into a loose sauce.
• Add coriander, Kashmiri lal mirch, garam masala and salt. Stir. Simmer on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add kasuri methi, cashew paste and dark brown sugar. Stir well.
• Add chicken. Mix well to coat with sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes on medium low heat.
• Turn off heat. Let rest for 3-5 minutes.
• Serve with hot naan, rice and a side of salad.

• Tip:

• For a party or gathering, grill chicken and prepare sauce in advance. Just heat the two together before serving.
