Grilled Chicken with a Cashew-Tomato Sauce

As a disclaimer for the rest of the month, this month's cookbook of the month on chowhound is 660 Curries, one of my favourite books, so you're likely going to see a lot of curry recipes up here this month.

This recipe is listed in the book's appetizer section, but I think it makes a fantastic main as well. The sauce is excellent. He calls for the use of balti masala, but states that any store-purchased blend would work. Cashews, tomato, cream, and spices are an outstanding combination.
