  2. 2

    Add the peeled almonds into a grinder jar along with 1 tbsp. of plain unsweetened yogurt. Make a paste of the almonds with 2-3 tbsp. of water (add just enough water needed to make the paste, not too much)

    3. Fresh ginger garlic paste
  3. 3

    Add a 1×1 inch piece of ginger and 3-4 large garlic cloves into a grinder jar and make a paste. This should give you ~1 tbsp of paste

    I am using boneless chicken thighs. You can use chicken with bone as well

    7. Chicken curry
  7. 7

    Set a non stick pan on medium heat and add oil.

    A non-stick pan is preferable because the almond paste tends to stick to the pan.

  9. 9

    Add onion and stir fry for a minute (or till the onions turn translucent)

  10. 10

  11. 11

    Add chicken and stir fry the chicken for 10-12 minutes or until the almond paste turns slightly darker brown

  12. 12

    Add 3/4 cup of water

  13. 13

    Add salt to taste

  14. 14

    Place the lid on and cook the chicken until tender
