Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup roasted cashews , for serving
4 whole dried red chilies
1 cinnamon stick, 1-inch piece
6 whole cloves
3 tbsp coriander seeds
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
8 garlic cloves
fresh ginger, 2-inch piece, peeled and sliced
1/2 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut or 1/4 cup ground raw cashews
1/3 cup canola oil
1 tsp ground black pepper
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs , cut crosswise into thirds
2 cups water
1 tsp salt (to taste)

Directions:

Process 1 cup of the raw cashews to a powder in a food processor.
Combine the chiles, cinnamon stick, cloves, coriander, cumin, onion, ginger, coconut and 3/4 cup of the ground cashews in a large saucepan or casserole over low heat. Cook, stirring, until the cashews and coconut have turned light golden, about 10 minutes. Keep a cup of water beside the stove as the mixture cooks. As the spices begin to stick, add water, about 1 teaspoon at a time, and scrape the bottom of the pan with the spoon to pull up the browned bits and keep the spices from burning.
Add the remaining ground cashews and cook, stirring, 5 more minutes. Add the chicken and cook, stirring, until it turns opaque, about 5 minutes.
Add the water and the salt, bring to a boil, turn the heat down and simmer, partially covered, until the chicken is tender, 15-20 minutes. Taste for salt and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup roasted cashews. Serve hot.
