CASHEW COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY
Steps:
- Whisk together the spice mixture ingredients. Divide it in half and rub half of it into the chicken thighs. Let them rest for 20 minutes.
- Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large, heavy pot like a Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the chicken thighs in batches to prevent steaming. When they are browned remove them to a wide bowl and add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil into the pot.
- Add the chopped onions with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring and scraping at the bottom of the pan to remove any stuck bits, for 10 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger and red chile pepper paste. Add another pinch of salt and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of Aleppo pepper and the remaining half of the spice mixture and stir to roast the spices. Let cook for another minute.
- Add the butternut squash chunks and stir to coat in the aromatics and spices. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken back in along with any accumulated juices. Then add the 6 cups of water and cook for 10 minutes, covered.
- Add the cauliflower florets and stir in. Reduce heat to simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
- While the curry is simmering, whisk together: the coconut milk, cashew butter and lime juice.
- At the end of the 20 minutes simmering time, whisk the coconut milk mixture into the curry and bring back to a simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Mix in 1 cup of chopped cilantro and 1 tablespoon of honey. Taste for more honey, more salt or more lime juice.
- Serve over Basmati rice and garnished with chopped cilantro, chopped roasted cashews and freshly squeezed lime juice.
COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY WITH CASHEWS
This Sri Lankan curry goes together fairly quickly despite the long list of ingredients. I used skinless, boneless thigh meat, because it always stays moist and can absorb a lot of flavor from a short marinade in ginger, garlic and spices. To intensify the taste, the cashews and coconut are used two ways. First, a handful of each is ground to a powder and added to the sauce. Then after simmering for 30 minutes or so, the curry is finished with a generous cup of thick coconut milk and garnished with toasted cashews. I also added, because I like it and thought it would harmonize nicely, a totally nontropical vegetable, parsnip - optional, but delicious.

Steps:
- Season chicken generously with salt and pepper and put it in a mixing bowl. Add ginger and garlic and massage into meat. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast cloves, fennel, cardamom, allspice, cumin and coriander until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Grind the toasted spices to a fine powder in an electric spice mill and add to chicken. Add turmeric, cayenne and lemon juice and mix well. Let marinate at room temperature for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate up to 1 hour.
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Put cashews on a baking sheet and roast until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool. Spread the shredded coconut on the baking sheet and toast until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, then let cool. Grind the coconut with 1/4 cup cashews in a spice mill or small food processor to make a rough powder. Reserve 1/2 cup roasted cashews for garnish.
- Bring a small saucepan of lightly salted water to a simmer, then add parsnips and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool.
- In a wide heavy-bottomed pot, heat ghee over medium-high heat. Add cooked parsnips, if using, and sauté until lightly browned. Remove and reserve. Add chicken pieces to the pot, stirring occasionally until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, then remove and set aside. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes more. Add tomato paste and let it sizzle with onions for a minute or two. Add broth and bring to a brisk simmer, stirring with a wooden spoon and scraping up any caramelized bits from the pot. Add cinnamon stick, chicken and the ground coconut and cashew mixture. Adjust heat to a gentle simmer, cover and cook for about 30 minutes, until chicken is tender. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- To finish the dish, stir in coconut milk and add reserved parsnips. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until parsnips are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with reserved cashews. Garnish with mint and cilantro sprigs, if using.

CREAMY CASHEW CHICKEN CURRY
Mooove over, real cream - this curry is made rich and creamy with (cow-free) cashew cream, which is remarkably similar to heavy cream in appearance, taste, and in-sauce behavior. In fact, cashew cream actually thickens up faster. You won't need anything too exotic, besides maybe garam masala, to make this straightforward recipe. Garnish with whole cashews, lime wedges, and cilantro. Serve with rice, garlic naan, or both!

COCONUT CHICKEN CURRY
After experimenting, this is my adaptation of coconut chicken curry. Others ended up either too tangy, too tomato-like, or too lemony. This is what I feel better represents the sweet and savory flavor you get in a restaurant. I use generous amounts of sugar, cinnamon, and some butter, so if you plan on making this often you might want to try some of the others since mine is packed with the best stuff on earth that is worst for you! But it tastes so good!
