Step 1

Heat some oil in a large pan. Add the onions and cook them until they turn a nice light golden brown. Take them out and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pan, toss in the star anise, cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Let them toast for about a minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then stir in the ginger garlic paste and mix well.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, blend together the yogurt, fried onions, chilies, cashew nuts, almonds, turmeric, coriander powder, red chili powder, cumin seeds, chili flakes, and salt until you get a smooth paste.

Step 5

Pour this paste over the chicken, stir to combine, then cover the pan and let it cook gently for 8-10 minutes so the flavors meld.

Step 6

Finish by stirring in fresh coriander leaves and a little extra pepper. Serve it hot and enjoy!
