Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Chicken 16 pieces
Cardamom 2 pods
Cumin 2 tsp
Onions 2
Fennel 1/2 tsp
Plain yogurt 1 cup
Water 5 cups
Coarse salt 1/2 tsp
Fresh cilantro 6 sprigs
Fresh ginger 2 inches

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Chicken:

    • Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels.
  2. Cook Chicken:

    • Heat a small amount of oil in a heavy large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
    • Cook the chicken in batches, ensuring all sides are cooked until no longer pink. Avoid browning the chicken.
    • Once cooked, remove the chicken using a slotted spoon and set it aside.
  3. Prepare Sauce Base:

    • In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil.
    • Add sliced onions and fry until wilted and pale brown, stirring constantly for about 12 minutes.
    • Stir in almonds, coriander, ginger, cardamom, ground red pepper, cumin, and fennel. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
    • Remove the mixture from heat.
  4. Make Almond Sauce:

    • Transfer half of the mixture to a food processor or blender.
    • Add half of the yogurt and half of the water. Puree until smooth.
    • Repeat the process with the remaining mixture, yogurt, and water.
    • Pour the sauce back into the skillet.
  5. Simmer Chicken in Sauce:

    • Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the sauce.
    • Place the skillet over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil.
    • Reduce the heat, cover the skillet, and simmer until the chicken is tender and the sauce is thickened, approximately 45 minutes.
  6. Rest and Serve:

    • Remove the skillet from heat and let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. For best results, refrigerate the dish and reheat before serving.
    • Rewarm the dish over low heat if needed.
    • Transfer the Chicken in Silky Almond Sauce to a serving dish, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.
