(4) Add chilly powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder. Saute till the raw smell goes off. Add chicken slices. Mix well so that masala coats well with the chicken.

(5) Now pour the second extract of coconut milk and vinegar. Add little salt. Mix once and close the vessel with a lid. Allow it to boil for another 12 minutes (Chicken will cook in coconut milk and its water).

(6) After 12 minutes chilken will be half cooked. Now open the lid and add tomato cubes to it. Mix once and again close the vessel with lid. Continue to boil for another 10 minutes. Now pour the combined cashew paste and coconut milk to it. Make a salt test.
