    Notes

    • I used bone-in chicken. But boneless chicken is preferred.
    • Instead of cashew powder. You can add badam powder as well.
    • I blend my cashews in a blender jar for few seconds till it is powdered.

    • This dish gets it taste from garlic. So feel free to add as much garlic as you want.

    • Japan chicken taste great with plain white rice, but you can serve with fried rice, noodles or as an appetiser.
