Heat some oil in a pot and toss in the whole spices. Let them sizzle for about a minute to release their aroma. Then, add the chopped onions and cook until they soften, around 2-3 minutes.

Throw in the whole red chillies and let them cook for another minute. Next, add the ginger garlic paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste and cook it down for 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Sprinkle in the cumin seeds, chili flakes, red chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Add the yogurt and mix everything well. Let it cook together for a couple of minutes.
Step 4
Add the coriander powder, give it a good stir, then cover the pot and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
Step 5
Now, add the minced chicken, mix it in, and cover again. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 6
Finally, stir in some fresh ginger, chopped coriander leaves, garam masala, and the cashew nuts. Give everything a good mix and cook for another minute or two before serving.
