Step 1

Joint the chicken and cut into serving pieces. The smaller the pieces of chicken, the better the spices can penetrate.

Step 2

Heat the ghee in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook until soft and golden, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Add the curry powder and chilli powder, if using, and stir for 1 minute, then add the salt, tomato and coriander and cook to a pulp, stirring with a wooden spoon.

Step 4

Add the chicken and stir well to coat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is tender, stirring with the wooden spoon every 15 minutes and scraping the base of the pan to remove any stuck-on bits.

Step 5

Stir in the garam masala and yoghurt and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.

Step 6

Finally, add the cashews and heat through. Scatter over the extra coriander and serve hot with chapatis, parathas, puris or rice.
