In the same pan, sauté onions for a few minutes, add garlic, ginger, and spices. Mix. Add tomatoes, cream, cashews, and simmer 5–10 min. Blend smooth, return chicken to sauce, simmer until done.

Mix naan dough ingredients in a bowl, dump out onto a lightly floured surface knead 5 min, cover, saran wrap, and rise 1 hour. Divide into 6 balls, roll them out, stuff with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella each, let rest for 10 minutes. Then gently roll out on a lightly flowered surface. Lightly oil, a medium high cast-iron skillet, cook 1–2 min per side. You know it’s done on the second side when it blows up like a balloon Brush with garlic butter.
