Ingredients
- 250 gms Boneless chicken cut into thin strips or cubes

- 2 tsp Leeks chopped finely (I didn't use it)
- 3 Dry red chilly slit lengthwise
- 1 small Capsicum sliced finely
- 1 medium - big Onion sliced finely
- 1 small Carrot sliced finely like matchsticks
- 1 - 1.5 tsp Kashmiri chilly powder
- 2 tbsp Tomato sauce
- 2 tsp Soya sauce

Instructions
- Make a medium thick batter with ingredients from plain flour-salt. Marinate the cleaned chicken pieces in this batter and keep aside for 10 mins. Shallow fry the chicken pieces till it turns golden brown. Keep the chicken pieces aside. In the same pan (remove excess oil, if any) add the cashew pieces and fry it till it turns brown. Keep it aside. Add the ginger & garlic paste. Fry it for a minute, add celery, leeks and dry chillies. Saute it for 2-3 minutes. Add capsicum, onion and salt. Cook till onions and capsicum becomes soft. Combine Kashmiri chilly powder, tomato & soya sauce and add this to the curry. Mix well and add around 1/8 cup of water at this stage. When the gravy boils, add fried cashews, chicken & carrots. Mix well. Cover and cook till the carrots are done. Serve hot.
Notes
Water is not added in the original recipe, since I like the chicken to be coated well, I added. Same with the cashew too, cashew is not added as per the original recipe, its optional. Also the vegetarians can try this recipe with cauliflower, paneer, tofu etc.
