Whenever we make any chicken dish, I ask for the whole separate breast, or sometimes get them cut into cubes. And after collecting enough boneless, I try something different with it every time. I saw this Mughlai Chicken Handi recipe somewhere and thought of giving it a try.. The only thing was that the chicken cubes were quite smaller than I wanted, but all is well when you have a great recipe in mind and it turns out well..
The whole game changes after you add the cashew paste.. The taste literally changes..
Everyone appreciated it and that's when I get satisfied.
