Preparation steps

1.
Rinse chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Remove any fat from the chicken breast and cut into bite-size cubes.
2.
Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet and brown the chicken on all sides for 8-10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
3.
Meanwhile, using a food processor or blender, combine garlic, ginger and water and process until a creamy, smooth paste forms.
4.
Add the cardamom pods to the skillet and saute for 2 minutes. Add the onion and saute for approximately 5 minutes, until soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic and ginger mixture, cumin and salt and cook, stirring frequently for an additional 5 minutes.
5.
Gradually, add half of the yogurt, stirring constantly until fully incorporated. Cook over low heat until most of the yogurt has been absorbed.
6.
Return the chicken to the pan and add the almonds, cream of coconut, and water. Cover and simmer over low heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until the chicken is fork tender.
7.
Add the remaining yogurt and peas, stir and simmer for several minutes longer.
8.
Divide chicken mixture between plates. Serve on rice if desired.
