Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Butter Chicken: Melt 2 Tbls butter in large frying pan. Sweat cashews, cumin, diced chile, onion and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and tomato paste, and cook for another 3-5 minutes. Deglaze pan with cream; then, working in small batches, blend until smooth. Saute chicken, reheat sauce and toss in chicken. Reserve the cilantro for garnishing.
  2. Naan: Mix flour and salt in a bowl, then make a well. Add water, stirring it into the flour until a soft, but not sticky, dough forms. Use more flour or water as needed. Knead dough on a clean surface until smooth. Allow to rest for 30-60 minutes.
  3. Cut into 8 even pieces and roll each out on a lightly floured surface. Cook on an inverted wok, griddle or cast-iron skillet until lightly browned on both sides. (In reality, lightly browned is a bit misleading. What you should see is blackened boils or pock-marks on the surface.) Oh, and if you cook on an electric range, don't despair; you can just as easily make naan under your broiler. However, since I have never used this method, I cannot suggest how long to bake; but I'm guessing it would take no longer than a minute or two.
  4. Garlic Butter: This one is fairly straight-forward so I won't bore you with details, but I will hit the highlights.
  5. Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat; add chopped garlic and let heat until butter is slightly browned, garlic is soft and very fragrant (the smell of garlic should fill the house). Apply liberally to Naan.
