Steps

1
Place the chicken in a bowl. Squeeze lemon juice over it, then add the garlic paste, salt, shahi jeera, cumin, turmeric, and red chili powder.
2
Mix the chicken thoroughly with the marinade so the pieces are evenly coated. Leave it to rest for half an hour.

Place the onion, dried red chilies, mint, fresh coriander, quartered tomatoes, and cashews in a blender. Blend the ingredients into a paste.
4
Heat desi ghee in a pan.
5
Add the blended paste to the pan and cook it until it becomes browned or red, as described in the source.
6
Add the marinated chicken to the pan and cook it, stirring as needed, until the chicken is thoroughly roasted and cooked through.
7
Add the butter, cream, and fresh coriander to the cooked chicken. Mix everything together thoroughly.
8
Squeeze lemon juice over the chicken. Remove it from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
9
Serve the chicken angara with butter naan.

Notes

The source does not provide quantities for most ingredients, nor does it specify cooking temperatures or exact cooking times. The transcript mentions a final twist that enhances the flavor, but the specific technique or ingredient is not clear enough to extract reliably.
