Instructions
Step 1
Heat some oil in a large pan and sauté the onions until they turn a nice light golden brown. Once done, take them out and set aside. In the same pan, add the star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves, and peppercorns, and cook for about a minute until fragrant.
Step 2
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until they start to brown. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and mix it well.
Step 3
While the chicken cooks, blend together the yogurt, fried onions, green chilies, cashew nuts, almonds, turmeric, coriander powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, chili flakes, and a pinch of salt to make a smooth paste.
Step 4
Pour this paste over the chicken, stir to combine, then cover and let it cook on low heat for about 8 to 10 minutes until the chicken is tender and the flavors have come together.
Step 5
Finish by stirring in some fresh coriander leaves and a little extra pepper. Serve it hot and enjoy!
