How to Make Chicken And Cashew Curry

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wide saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion and a ½ teaspoon of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 1 inch grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1-2 finely chopped green chilies, 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, and 1 teaspoon coriander powder. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
  3. Pour in 1 can (13.5 oz) of full-fat coconut milk and 1 cup of chicken stock. Stir until well combined. Add ½ teaspoon ground cardamom and 1.5 lbs of 1-inch pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  4. Bring the curry to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Add 1 cup of trimmed green beans and cook for another 8 minutes.
  6. While the beans cook, toast 1/2 cup of cashew nuts in a dry frying pan over medium heat until lightly browned.
  7. Stir the toasted cashews, ¼ cup of soured cream (or Greek yogurt), and half of the chopped coriander into the curry.
  8. Serve hot over basmati rice, garnished with the remaining chopped coriander.
