How to Make Chicken And Cashew Nut Curry

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  4. Add the chicken pieces and brown on all sides.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk, chicken broth, and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Stir in the cashews and simmer for 5 more minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over basmati rice with flatbread.
