Thank god for Pinterest Cashew Chicken!



 

Cashew Chicken(slightly adapted from Kickin Cashew Chicken on Pinterest)



  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2/3 cup cashews
  • 1 tablespoon indian curry paste (I used Sharwoods from Safeway, in ethnic section)
  • 2  garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 large chicken breasts,  cubed raw 
  • 1-2 cups mixed frozen vegetables (I used europe's best - nature's balance (broccoli, red/yellow pepper, asparagud, sugar snap peas and leaf spinach)
  • 1/4 cup golden raisins
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro (I used litehouse's freeze dried cilantro in fresh herb section)
  • 1 1/4 cup water

 In a food processor, process the onion for about 1 minute or until a smooth puree forms. Add the next 8 ingredients (through oil) to the onion mixture and process for another 1-2 minutes.
In a heavy pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Pour the spice mixture from the food processor into the pan and fry for 2 minutes. Add chicken breast, the cilantro, and the raisins. Stir-fry for another 1 minute. Add the water and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Serve over rice and garnish with cilantro and/or cashew pieces.
