1

Prepare the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, garam masala, and paprika. Mix well to create a fragrant and flavorful marinade.

Marinate the Chicken

Add chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated thoroughly. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or overnight for maximum flavor absorption).

3

Cook the Chicken

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add marinated chicken and cook until it turns golden brown and is cooked through. Set aside.

4

Prepare the Sauce

In the same pan, melt a tablespoon of butter. Add chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent. Then add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften. Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth.

5

Finish the Dish

Return the pureed sauce to the pan. Add cashew butter, honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce and simmer for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Serve hot with steamed rice or whole wheat naan.
