Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup grated unsweetened coconut
1 1/2 tbsp raw cashew pieces
1 tbsp white poppy seeds (optional)
5 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced shallots or onion
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp minced ginger
2 tsp finely chopped fresh green chilies ( serrano or thai)
1 cup chopped tomato
3 tbsp coarsely chopped cilantro leaves , plus more for garnish
6 tsp coriander
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 tsp garam masala (see below )
1 1/2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp plain yogurt
2 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs and breasts, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
4 whole pieces star anise
2 tsp fennel seeds
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground clove
2 tsp ground cardamom
1 tsp ground nutmeg

Directions:

Ground masala:
In a mini food processor or blender combine the coconut, cashews, poppy seeds, and 1/3 cup water. Grind thoroughly to form a smooth paste like pesto. (A mini processor works best for this.) Set aside.
In a wide deep pan heat 3 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Fry 1 cup of the shallots until light brown. Stir in the garlic, ginger, green chili, and fry for 1 minute. Add the tomato, 3 tablespoons cilantro, ground masala, garam masala, salt, and 1/2 cup water; fry until the tomato breaks down and forms a paste.
Add the yogurt and stir until it dissolves. Add the chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
Fry the remaining 1/2 cup shallots in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil until very brown and crisp. Remove them to a plate.
Add the coconut and cashew paste to the chicken and simmer for 10 more minutes. Check the salt.
Garam Masala:
Place the star anise in a coffee grinder and grind to a fine powder. Measure out 2 teaspoonfuls, reserving the rest for another use.
Grind the fennel seeds in the coffee grinder to form a fine powder.
Combine all the ingredients and store in an airtight jar away from the light. It will keep for 6 months.
