Instructions
  1. Begin with soaking the cashew nuts in hot water for about 10 minutes.
  2. Rub turmeric powder over the chicken and keep it aside.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a pan, add the chopped onions and saute. Cook the onions till they turn deep brown on medium heat. This process of caramelising the onions will take about 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Once the onions have browned, transfer to a food processor or grinder along with the garlic cloves, green chillies, ginger, cashew nuts, and ¼ cup of water. Grind this to a smooth paste.
  5. In the same pan, heat the remaining ghee. Add bay leaf, cardamom pods, cinnamon, and cloves. Saute for about a minute, and then add the onion paste.
  6. Cook the paste on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Add chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Saute for about 2 to 3 minutes
  7. Add the chicken with ¼ cup of water. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes or till the chicken has cooked thoroughly. If the gravy is too thick, add a little water to thin it down.
  8. Add cream and switch off the flame. Let the Mughlai chicken curry sit for about 10 minutes before serving it hot with parathas or rice.
Recipe Notes
  1. Saute the onions till they get a nice deep brown colour. This caramelisation process will add flavour to the gravy, so make sure not to skip it.
  2. Grind the ginger, garlic, green chillies, cashew nuts, and browned onions with water to a smooth puree. This is important as this will form the texture of the gravy.
  3. Cook the onion paste till it gets a nice light brown colour. Keep frequently stirring as it may stick.
  4. Cook the paste until the oil separates.
