This version calls for chicken and instead of a homemade paste of crushed cashews, includes cashew butter, saving time and adding another layer of luxury to the dish. The end result is an efficient yet decadent meal in about 30 minutes, with a hint of heat from chile powder. Riff on it by adding quick-cooking veggies if you like, and serve with rice or roti.","servings":4,"servings_text":"4 servings","prep_time":"PT5M","cook_time":"PT30M","total_time":"PT35M","ingredients":[{"text":"2 tablespoons ghee (or canola or vegetable oil)","item":"ghee","quantity":2,"unit":"tbsp","preparation":"or canola or vegetable oil"},{"text":"1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped","item":"medium yellow onion","quantity":1,"preparation":"finely chopped"},{"text":"1 teaspoon ginger paste or freshly grated ginger","item":"ginger paste or freshly grated ginger","quantity":1,"unit":"tsp"},{"text":"1 teaspoon garlic paste or freshly grated garlic","item":"garlic paste or freshly grated garlic","quantity":1,"unit":"tsp"},{"text":"1 teaspoon cumin seeds","item":"cumin seeds","quantity":1,"unit":"tsp"},{"text":"1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into ¾-inch cubes","item":"boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 3/4-inch cubes","quantity":1.5,"unit":"lb"},{"text":"¾ teaspoon kashmiri or other mild red chile powder","item":"kashmiri or other mild red chile powder","quantity":0.75,"unit":"tsp"},{"text":"¼ teaspoon ground turmeric","item":"ground turmeric","quantity":0.25,"unit":"tsp"},{"text":"3 medium plum tomatoes, finely chopped or 1 (14-ounce can) chopped tomatoes","item":"medium plum tomatoes","quantity":3,"preparation":"finely chopped or 1 (14-ounce can) chopped tomatoes"},{"text":"Salt","item":"Salt"},{"text":"2 tablespoons full-fat plain Greek yogurt","item":"full-fat plain Greek yogurt","quantity":2,"unit":"tbsp"},{"text":"3 tablespoons cashew butter","item":"cashew butter","quantity":3,"unit":"tbsp"},{"text":"8 ounces frozen or fresh green peas (about 1 ¾ cups, optional)","item":"frozen or fresh green peas","quantity":8,"unit":"oz","preparation":"about 1 3/4 cups, optional"},{"text":"3 tablespoons heavy cream or cashew cream, for drizzling (optional)","item":"heavy cream or cashew cream, for drizzling","quantity":3,"unit":"tbsp","preparation":"optional"},{"text":"Rice or roti, for serving","item":"Rice or roti, for serving"}],"instructions":[{"number":1,"text":"Heat ghee in a medium pot on high for 30 seconds.
