Directions

  1. Tested 1/25/99. Excellent. Reduce the water by half. OK to use full amount of cayenne.
  2. Do not be put off by the long list of ingredients, the result is well worth the effort. To speed up the preparation, you can substitute commercial garam masala for the peppercorns, cumin seeds, cinnamon stick, whole cloves and cardamom. To serve, mound the chicken on a large heated platter over a bed of steaming basmati or possibly wild rice.
  3. Combine the peppercorns, cumin, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom in a spice grinder and grind to a fine pwdr. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large saute/fry pan over medium-high heat. Add in the onion, garlic, ginger and bay leaves. Stir and cook till the onion is lightly browned, about 4 min.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add in the chicken pcs and cook till no longer pink, 5 to 6 min. Add in the grnd spices, turmeric, cayenne, paprika, nutmeg and salt. Cook till aromatic and the chicken is coated with spices, 3 to 4 min.
  5. Combine the yogurt and lowfat sour cream in a small bowl; stir to blend. Add in to the pan, a Tbsp. at a time. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 min.
  6. Combine the cashews, almonds and water in a blender; blend till smooth. Add in to the pan.
