Ingredients for Shahi Chicken Kofta Recipe (Malai Chicken Kofta Curry Recipe)
Chicken Mince
Chicken mince, also known as minced chicken, is a type of ground chicken. Its a finely chopped chicken cut thats a leaner alternative to beef mince. Skinless boneless chicken thighs or breasts, or a combination of the two, are commonly used in its preparation.
Onion
Onions are considered a basic ingredient or the foundation of Indian cooking and are used to make any gravy, curry, or bhuna dish. The flavour and aroma of onion transforms any ordinary dish into a mouthwatering and delectable one.
Garam Masala Powder
The whole spices in the Garam Masala blend have already been toasted before being ground. As a result, it is not necessary to cook it. If the garam masala is added too soon, it will become overcooked and lose its flavour. Garam masala aromatics require only a small amount of heat to release their aroma and flavours.
Cashews
Cashews contain a lot of starch, which will thicken sauces just like flour and potatoes do. The use of cashews over flour, for example, has the advantage of adding a lot of flavour to the sauce.
