This recipe is adapted from varehvah.com suggested by one of my friend. It tasted great ,it goes well with roti or naan,also there is something special about this recipe,when i was looking for a bowl to serve,i  saw this bowl. My aunt gave this as a gift to me so i would like to say thank you for this  beautiful gift.

Add 1/2 chilli powder,coriander powder and 1 tsp of ginger garlic paste to the chicken and mix well.Heat a non stick pan and add the oil,when the oil gets heated add the chicken and shallow fry it,do not cook completely( if you don't want to fry grill the chicken in the oven for 10 minutes on each side,set the oven temperature to maximum).
Remove the chicken from the pan and set  aside.Add the chopped onions and ginger garlic paste in the oil ,add water to remove the things sticked at the bottom of the pan,this gives a special taste,as told by Vah chef and cook it in the medium heat,add the tomatoes,remaining chilli powder,coriander powder,green chilli,cashew nuts and kasoori methi;add some more water and cook till all the tomatoes get mashed well.Switch off the flame, Leave the mixture to cool down for a while and blend it in a blender.
