Cashew nut Chicken curry is the one of common delicacy non-vegetarian curry in India. It is having large amount of regional variation, with many variations on the basic chicken curry recipe. This recipe is one of the my special version which is coming from special spice. Indian chicken curry typically starts with whole spices, heated in oil. A sauce is then made with onions, ginger, garlic, and tomatoes, and powdered spices.  So, it’s my adaptation of a legend, having said that I must say that most great cooks or the ones I know of (like, my mom or grand mom’s) rely on simple approximations, which has never turned out any less perfect than a measured list of ingredients. Now, this chicken cashew curry Is neither mild nor sweet, it’s just soft and mellow with the hint of spices and chilies intact; that is to say it’s just the way we Indians love to have it.  Best described as succulent chicken cooked in a silky sauce of onions, cashews and spices…this dish is  nutty and flavorfully spicy without being fiery hot. The cashew paste contribute to make the nutty, creamy texture of this gravy. The process of making it and the flavors you can achieve making it at home however is a lot easier than it seems…well worth your time over ordering take out :-)  So lets see the ingredients and process to make the Cashew nut Chicken Curry.......
