Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion (cut into 1/2-inch cubes) and 1/4 cup cashews. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the cashews are lightly golden and fragrant. Tip: Toast the cashews first by cooking them alone for 2 minutes before adding the onion to prevent burning.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 1/2 cup yogurt, 200g spinach (washed and roughly chopped), 500g chicken breast (cut into 1-inch cubes), and 1 tbsp garam masala. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring gently, until the yogurt is warmed and the chicken is coated in the mixture. Tip: Add the yogurt after the onions and cashews are cooked to prevent curdling.
  3. Step 3: Cover the skillet and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is tender (easily pierced with a fork) and the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Tip: If the sauce becomes too thick, add 2-3 tbsp water or chicken broth to loosen it before serving.
