Number Of Ingredients 8

1 banana
1/2 mango
1 egg
4 tablespoons garam masala (recipe above)
1 1/4 pounds salted pistachio nuts (2 1/2 cups, shelled)
Kosher salt to taste
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, split in half, about 3 pounds
1 1/2 cups clarified butter

Steps:

  • Place the banana, mango and egg in a blender and puree, slowly adding the garam masala. Remove from the blender and place the fruit-spice mixture on a plate. Place the nuts on another plate.
