Ingredients
- 2 pounds whole chicken
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 teaspoons red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 2 green chilies slit
- 2 tomatoes pureed
- 1/2 cup cashew nuts soaked and ground to a paste
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Clean the chicken thoroughly and make small slits on its surface. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix together yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, lime juice, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder, paprika, and salt to make a marinade.
- Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it gets into the slits as well. Let it marinate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet or pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and green chilies, and sauté until onions turn golden brown.
- Add the tomato puree and cook for a few minutes until the oil separates.
- Stir in the cashew paste and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Place the marinated chicken in the skillet and coat it well with the sauce.
- Cover the skillet with aluminum foil or a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 1 hour or until the chicken is cooked through, basting it with the sauce occasionally.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve hot with naan bread, rice, or your preferred side dish.
