Here I am presenting you one of the Indian style "Cashew Chicken" with thick gravy. Here below is the detail of the recipe:

Cooking Time:
25 minutes

Ingredients (Serves 2 persons):
1/2 lbs chicken (with bones) cut into small pieces
1 medium size onion shredded
1 medium size tomato cut into small cubes
3 - 4 table spoon cashew paste
2 table spoon yogurt
3 table spoon cooking oil
2 tea spoon ginger garlic paste
2 green chili chopped
1 tea spoon chili powder
1/2 tea spoon turmeric powder
1 table spoon cumin powder
Whole garam masala (2 cardamom, 1 cinnamon stick and 2 cloves)
Salt to taste

Method:
1. Pour cooking oil on a pan and let it heat up a little bit.
2. Add whole garam masala; cinnamon, cloves and cardamom. These whole masalas will add nice flavor with the gravy.
3. Then add shredded onion. Mix onion with the oil.
4. Now add ginger garlic paste and mix it nicely with onion and oil. Let onion and ginger garlic paste cook for 1 -- 2 minutes.
5. When onions are light brown color, it is time to add other ingredients. Add tomato cubes with it.
6. Add salt with tomato. Adding salt with tomato will help soften tomato quickly and it will be easy to smash with spatula to make nice gravy.
7. So mix all these ingredients together and keep pressing tomatoes with spatula. Then leave it for approximately a minute to soften tomatoes.
8. Add other masalas like chopped chili, turmeric powder, cumin powder, chili powder.
9. Now again mix everything together. Tomato will be soft by now, so it will mix up easily with other spices. Leave it for another minute.
10. After a minute, nice gravy will be ready. Add yogurt and cashew paste. Stir it well with the gravy.
11. Then add a little water and chicken pieces. Chicken will be cooked with this gravy, so mix all these together and let it boil for approximately 10 minutes.
12. Check it periodically and stir a little bit as it may burn at bottom.
13. After some time the gravy will be thicker, check if the chicken is cooked properly. If the chicken is soft, then cashew chicken is ready.
