Instructions 

Crush The Peppercorns

  • Add peppercorns to a mortar and pestle and grind to make a coarse powder. Keep it aside.

Make The Onion Cashew Paste

  • Heat 4 cups of water in a pan over medium-high heat.
  • Once it comes to a rolling boil, add onions, green chilies, and cashew nuts to the pan and boil for 6-8 minutes.
    • Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool down for 5 minutes.
    • Strain the water and add the cooked onions and cashew nuts to a blender along with ¼cup of water.
    • Blend to make a fine paste.

    Make The Curry

    • Heat oil in a heavy-bottom pan over medium heat.
    • Once the oil is hot, add cloves, green cardamoms, and cinnamon stick and saute for 4-5 seconds.
    • Add the onion paste and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently. Scrape the bottom of the pan at regular intervals while cooking to prevent the onion paste from sticking at the bottom and burning.
    • Now add ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute.

      • Add chicken to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
      • Add yogurt, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt, and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
      • Now add 1 cup of water and black pepper powder and mix well.
      • Reduce the heat to low.
      • Cover the pan and cook for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked well. Stir a few times while cooking.
      • Add lime juice, honey, Kasuri methi, heavy cream, garam masala powder, and crushed black pepper and mix well. 
      • Add some hot water if the curry looks thick and bring it to a boil.
      • Check for salt and add more if needed.
      • Serve hot.
