Heat the oil in a large pan, and fry the garlic, onion, ginger, and cardamom pods over medium heat for4- 5 minutes until soft.
1 Onion, 3 cloves Garlic, 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, 3 Pods Cardamom, 1 tablespoon Sunflower Oil
Stir in the chicken breast pieces and cook for 3-5 minutes.
4 Chicken Breasts
Now, stir in all the spices and sugar.
½ teaspoon Garam Masala, ⅛ teaspoon Ground Coriander, ¼ teaspoon Turmeric, ¼ teaspoon Chilli Powder, ¼ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, ½ teaspoon Sugar, ½ teaspoon Salt, ⅛ teaspoon Ground Pepper, ¼ teaspoon Ground Cumin
Add double cream, ground almonds and yogurt.
250 ml Yogurt full-fat, 4 tablespoon Ground Almonds, 50 ml Double Cream
Let the chicken simmer for 10 minutes. After that, turn off the heat,
garnish with flaked almonds and chopped coriander, and serve.
2 tablespoon Toasted almond flakes, 2 tablespoon Fresh coriander

Before adding the cardamom pods to the curry, lightly bruise them with the back of a spoon. By doing so, their flavors will be more readily released.
Use granulated sugar or brown sugar in making this recipe.
If you are aiming for a lighter Chicken Pasanda, you may skip the double cream. The full-fat yogurt will already be enough to make this recipe thick and creamy.
If you don't have coriander, you may stick to the more traditional fresh parsley in terms of garnishing.
