Peshawari Chicken

An innovative and simple chicken recipe to make your weekends special. The idea was actually given by friend’s aunt. However, I have made a few modifications to it to come up with my own version.

Serves 4-5 people

Ingredients

500 gms chicken, cleaned and made slits.

2 onions, finely choped

2 tsp ginger garlic paste

4-5 green chillies

1 tsp pepper

2 tsp oregano

2 tsp pizza mix/seasoning

1 tsp haldi

8-10 cashews

3-4 tbsp cream

2 tbsp oil

Salt

Method:

Grind together ginger garlic paste with the green chillies to a fine paste (add little water if required).

Marinate the chicken with this paste along with, haldi, oregano, pepper and pasta seasoning.

Keep this overnight or a minimum of 3-4 hours.

In a kadai, heat oil and fry the chopped onion till golden brown.

Now add the marinated chicken and salt and cook till chicken is partially cooked.

In the meantime, grind cashews to a fine powder in mixer. Add cream and grind again to make creamy cashew paste.

Add this to the partially cooked chicken. Add water as required (this is supposed to be thick gravy, so do not add too much water).

Cook well till chicken is tender.

Serve hot with chapatti or naan.
