Creamy Chicken Sausage Gravy

Step 1: Fry the Sausages

Heat a little oil in a pan. Add the cut chicken sausages and lightly fry or sauté them until they turn golden brown. Remove the fried sausages and keep them aside.

Step 2: Prepare Garlic and Ginger

In the same pan, add 3-4 tablespoons of butter and let it melt. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of ginger-garlic paste. Cook until the raw smell of ginger and garlic disappears, stirring continuously.

Step 3: Sauté Onions

Add 1 chopped medium onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes soft and slightly golden brown.

Step 4: Cook Tomato Puree

Pour in 2 medium tomato puree and cook, stirring occasionally, until the oil starts separating from the mixture. Gently mix well.

Step 5: Add Dry Spices

Add 2 teaspoons of Kashmiri red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of garam masala, 1 1/2 teaspoons of coriander powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder. Mix all the spices well with the tomato-onion mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Step 6: Incorporate Cashew Paste and Cream

Add the paste of 10-12 soaked and ground cashews along with 1/2 cup of jar-washed water. Give it a good mix. Then, add 1/2 cup of fresh cream and mix well. Cook on a low flame until the gravy becomes thick and creamy.

Step 7: Combine Sausages with Gravy

Add the previously fried chicken sausages into the creamy gravy. Add a little water if needed to adjust consistency and simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sausages to absorb the flavors.

Step 8: Final Seasoning

Add 1 tablespoon of kasoori methi, 1/4 teaspoon of oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 9: Serve

Serve the creamy chicken sausage gravy hot. Garnish with 1 tablespoon of cream and a pinch of red chili powder. It pairs excellently with naan, roti, or jeera rice.
