Simple Chicken Curry

This summer our meals are simple and light. Often our lunch comprises of wholesome and filling salad or one pot meals and loads of flavored buttermilk. Yesterday, I made a simple and delectable chicken curry for our mid day meal. A regular Andhra chicken curry recipe with a slight twist. Cashew nut paste adds a touch of decadence, increases the flavor profile by leaps and bounds. Its one of our favorite chicken curry recipes that goes well with flavored rice, plain cooked rice and rotis. Try it and I am sure it will be a regular fare in your kitchen as well.

Tips

  •   Kasuri methi is optional. If you do not have it on hand, add 1/2 tsp of dried mint/pudina leaves or coriander leaves.
  •   If you do not have ready made tomato puree on hand, make you own. Grind a large tomato to a fine paste and use it in place of store bought tomato puree.
  •   Tomato puree and cashew nut paste are essential for this recipe, so do not omit them.
  •   If you do not have curry leaves, omit them. Use fresh coriander leaves as a final garnish.
