 CASHEW CHICKEN CURRY | 

STARTUP COOKING

Cashew chicken curry is a creamy rich, mildly spiced chicken that goes well with hot steamed rice, chapathi, roti, naan or dosa and made under 45 minutes. 

It is a typical chicken curry from  Indian cuisine consists of chicken stewed in an onion and cashew tomato based sauce and a variety of spices. For even more rich curry, you can add a cream or butter before garnish. This is one of the delicious recipe that I prepare for my family and friends during weekends, potlucks and special occasions. Cashew is the key ingredient.
