Cashew Methi Chicken

One day, to rejuvenate my taste buds I wanted to cook something rich and flavorful with chicken, so decided to try this recipe which I got from my mom's recipe reservoir. My little 2 year old son who usually prefers entrees which involve frying liked this one for a change! Your kids might like it too!
