Preparation
1
Soak raw cashew nuts in hot water for 10-15 minutes, then drain and blend with a splash of water until a smooth paste forms. Set aside.
2
Cut chicken breasts into 1.5-inch pieces. Season lightly with salt.
3
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick pot or pan over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Stir in minced ginger and garlic. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5
Add turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder (if using). Stir well and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic.
6
Add chicken pieces to the pot. Brown the chicken lightly on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
7
Pour in the light coconut milk and add the cashew paste. Stir well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
8
Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender, stirring occasionally.
9
Remove from heat. Stir in the Greek yogurt and garam masala. Mix until creamy. Do not boil after adding yogurt to prevent curdling.
10
Taste and adjust salt if needed. Garnish with fresh chopped coriander before serving.
