Dry fruits added to any dish bring out a great flavor and taste. They are used in most of Indian desserts like kheer and halwa and sometimes in the main course. To make my chicken look and taste delicious I used cashew nuts paste. I also used kesar to bring out a great color. The texture and taste of the dish came out yummiest ever.
