What it is
A rich, mild, and creamy chicken curry featuring a luscious gravy made primarily from cashew paste, fresh cream, and a delicate blend of aromatic, subtle spices. This dish offers a luxurious texture and flavor profile, provided carb-heavy thickeners and sugars are omitted.
Key ingredients
Chicken, cashew paste, heavy cream, onions, ginger-garlic paste, green cardamom, bay leaf, cinnamon, white pepper, salt, cooking oil/ghee.
If you order it anyway
Crucially, request no sugar, no tomato puree (or minimal), and absolutely no starchy thickeners (flour, cornstarch). Cashew paste is carb-dense, so moderate use is key. Ensure no carb-heavy sides like rice or naan.
If you order it anyway, say this (Hindi)
Laabdar Chicken में चीनी, गाढ़ा करने वाला पदार्थ और टमाटर प्यूरी कम डालिए। साथ में चावल या रोटी मत दीजिएगा।
