Ingredients

  • 1 pound Chicken Breasts, Boneless And Skinless
  • ¼ cups Thick Or Strained Yogurt
  • ¼ cups Pistachios, Shelled And Skinned
  • ¼ cups Almonds, Skinned
  • 1 cup Hot Water
  • 4 Tablespoons Warm Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Ghee
  • 1  Cinnamon Stick
  • 8  Cloves
  • 1  Large Onion, Diced Finely
  • 1 Tablespoon Ginger Paste
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Paste
  • 1-½ teaspoon Coriander Powder
  • 1-½ teaspoon Cumin Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Green Cardamom Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Black Pepper, Freshly Ground
  • ¾ teaspoons Salt
  • ¼ teaspoons Saffron Threads, Crushed
  • 2 teaspoons Finely Chopped Coriander Leaves
  • 2 teaspoons Finely Chopped Fresh Mint
  • Some Chopped Pistachio And Almond, For Garnish
  • Tiny Pinch Of Crushed Saffron For Garnish

Preparation

Slice chicken breasts into desired size, add into a bowl. Coat meat with thick yogurt. Set aside.

Add pistachios and almonds into a bowl with hot water. Set aside for 15 minutes to soften.

Meantime, heat a large nonstick saucepan (kadhai) on medium. Add ghee and wait to heat before adding cinnamon stick and cloves. After 15 seconds, add diced onions and cook until onions begins to soften and browned ever so slightly. This should take anywhere from 5–8 minutes. Do not burn or over-brown the onions.

Throw in ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute or until fragrant. Lower heat to medium-low, and toss in all the spice powders (coriander, cumin, green cardamom). Cook gently and stir for 2–3 minutes to avoid burning the spices.

Dump in marinated chicken breasts. Evenly coat chicken pieces with spices. Cook on gentle heat for a few minutes to avoid yogurt from splitting. Sprinkle in salt, black pepper and crushed saffron threads. Cook for 5 minutes or until oil begins to separates on the sides.

Drain soften pistachios and almonds. Add into a small food processor with 4 tbsp of warm water. Pulse until a thick and grainy paste forms.

Increase heat to medium-high and add in nut paste a little at a time. Keep stirring in between until sauce begins to thicken. Lower heat to medium, put on a lid and cook chicken for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Once chicken is cooked and sauce is thicken to desired liking, remove from heat and sprinkle in finely chopped coriander leaves and mint. Garnish to your heart’s desire and serve kashmiri chicken with basmati rice and garlic naan. Do it!
