Step-by-Step Instructions
- Dice the boneless skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces, then combine with Greek yogurt, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, chili powder, garam masala, turmeric, and salt in a bowl. Coat well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken pieces without overcrowding and cook for 5-6 minutes until opaque. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté diced onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add ginger, garlic, chili powder, garam masala, coriander, and cumin. Cook for another minute.
- Stir in cashews, crushed tomatoes, coconut sugar, and water. Mix well and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer sauce to a blender and blend until smooth. Alternatively, use an immersion blender in the pan.
- Return blended sauce to heat, stir in butter and cream until melted, then fold in cooked chicken. Simmer for 3-5 minutes.
- Serve warm over basmati rice and garnish with cilantro.

Notes
Overnight marination enhances flavor; ensure to blend sauce smooth for creamy texture.
