Serves 4
Ingredients
⅓ cup roasted cashews
2 Tbsp. canola oil, divided
1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1½ pieces
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. peeled, minced ginger
1 Thai chili or serrano chili, seeded and finely chopped
2 tsp. ground coriander
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. paprika
2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ tsp. cayenne
½ tsp. ground fennel seed (optional)
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (5-ounce) package baby kale
½ cup plain yogurt, preferably whole milk
½ cup cilantro leaves, for garnish
2 cups cooked basmati or jasmine rice, for serving
Directions
Active time: 30 minutes
Total time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Using a food processor fitted with a metal blade, pulse cashews until finely ground. Set aside.
In a large pot, heat 1 Tbsp. oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Return pot to heat and add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil, then onion, garlic, ginger and chili. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add coriander, cumin, paprika, salt, cayenne, cardamom and fennel seed (if using) and cook, stirring frequently, until spices are toasted, about 1 minute.
Add tomatoes, reserved cashews and reserved chicken, along with any juices. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until chicken is tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover and stir in kale and yogurt; let simmer 5 minutes to blend flavors. Season with salt to taste. Garnish with cilantro and serve with rice.
