Ginger Cashew Chicken Curry

Real Talk: The spicy double-roasted cashews are incredibly addictive. Seriously, you should triple the recipe just for snacking purposes. And if you don’t feel like making rice, pick up a couple to-go containers from a neighborhood restaurant.

Coarsely chop ½ cup cashews. Melt 1 Tbsp. butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook chopped cashews and 1 tsp. sambal oelek, stirring occasionally, until nuts begin to toast (yes, you’re double-toasting them), 3–5 minutes. Scrape into a small bowl, season with salt, and set aside.

Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in same pot over medium-high heat. Cook half of chicken, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer chicken to a small bowl. Repeat with remaining chicken and 2 Tbsp. butter.

Cook onion in same pot, stirring occasionally, until translucent and just tender, 5–8 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Add ginger and remaining 4 tsp. sambal oelek and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pot. Stir in flour to coat and cook until warmed through, about 1 minute. Add milk and remaining ½ cup cashews; gently simmer, adding milk to thin if needed, until sauce is the consistency of heavy cream and chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in vinegar. Serve with rice and top with reserved cashews.

Do Ahead: Curry can be made 1 day ahead; cover and chill.
