To begin with, assemble all the dry ingredients together. Now, combine all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl or Ziplock bag, add the chicken, and set aside. Do this step the night before to save time while cooking.

Add the chicken pieces that have been marinating, then cook on low to medium heat. Continue to stir until the colour of the chicken changes.

Once done, add onion, cashew nut and tomato paste. You can even add a bit of water to thin out the gravy.
