CHICKEN
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk yogurt, ginger, garlic, garam masala, chili powder, cumin, turmeric, and 2 1/2 teaspoons salt. Stir in chicken and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 24.
Step 2
In a large high-sided skillet over medium-heat heat, heat oil. Add chicken to pan in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on bottom side, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a bowl.
SAUCE
Step 1
Without wiping out pan, combine ghee and onions; season with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, garam masala, cumin, and Kashmiri powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour in tomatoes and granulated sugar and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and deepens in color, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2
Transfer sauce to a blender, add cashews, and blend on high speed until very smooth. Pour sauce back into pan and stir in cream and chicken. Simmer until sauce is thickened and bubbling and chicken is cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 3
Divide chicken among plates. Top with cilantro. Serve with rice and naan alongside.
