2. We put a medium saucepan on the fire with half of the virgin olive oil (two tablespoons).
3. We put the onion in the saucepan, salt to taste to make it sweat and leave it on the fire until the onion becomes translucent (transparent).
4. We prepare the chicken removing the excess fat that may come from the breasts. We cut them into medium squares (about 2 centimeters long) and season to taste.

2. We put the chicken in the pan, brown for 3-4 minutes until the pieces blanch, we just want to seal the surface and make the chicken juicy.
3. Add the chicken and the water that has been released to the casserole with the onion.
4. We put the raisins in a glass with water, heat in the micro for one minute at maximum temperature. We remove from the micro and let them rest another minute. Drain and reserve for the next step.

Cooking chicken curry stew and Thai rice

1. Add the coconut milk and stir well so that the flavors and smells mix. We leave over medium-high heat to reduce our future chicken curry sauce.
2. After 5 minutes we reduce the cooking temperature in half. We try salt and if necessary add a little more.
3. Chop the cashews and put them in the casserole with the raisins that we have previously hydrated. We put everything together with a wooden spoon.
4. Let them cook over medium-low heat for about 12 minutes until the sauce is reduced.
5. If we see that it reduces too much we can add a little water or whole milk.
6. When we see that the sauce has thickened we put the fire to a minimum. This way we keep the heat while we prepare the Thai Sundari rice that will refresh our palates while we eat the curry.
7. We serve the freshly made rice along with the chicken curry on the same plate. Sprinkle with the coriander very chopped on top.
