For the chicken:

• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon turmeric

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl place the chicken and season with all spices, salt, minced garlic and ginger. Coat the chicken well and cover for 10 minutes.
2. While you marinate the chicken, heat up the butter and oil in a large pan on medium heat, and sweat the onions until translucent; add cashew butter and cook for 2–3 minutes. Then add tomato sauce, salt, pepper and garam masala. Cook for a few minutes or until little bubbles appear on the sides. Turn off the heat and smooth the mixture in blender to make a rich, thick sauce. Set aside.
3. In the same pan, add a tablespoon of oil and cook the chicken in batches until golden brown on all sides. Pour the tomato and cashew sauce over and simmer for 5 minutes. Add cream, mix and turn off the heat.
4. Serve immediately over steamed white rice and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
