How often have you wanted to eat spinach coz it’s healthy, but you hated its taste? What if you added chicken to spinach...would that make it more appetizing and tasty? Well...that’s what I set out to test...and the outcome - tasty, healthy Spinach Chicken Curry :). So lets get started....
1.25 lbs Boneless chicken breast (Cut into bite sized pieces)
2 Medium sized onions (finely chopped)
2 Medium sized tomatoes (finely chopped)
1 Cup Spinach (finely chopped)
1 Serrano Pepper (finely chopped)
1 Serrano Pepper (finely chopped)
2 Tbsp Vegetable oil
2 Tsp Ginger-garlic Paste
1 Tsp Red chilli powder
4 Tsp Coriander powder
½ Tsp Cumin powder
½ Tsp Turmeric powder
½ Cup water
Corriander Leaves
Salt to taste
Heat the oil in a pan. Once the oil is heated, add the onions and serrano pepper and fry till the onions turn golden brown. Then, add the ginger-garlic paste and fry for 3-4 minutes. Add the spice powders – red chilli, coriander, cumin and turmeric. Fry for another 4-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and continue frying till you see the oil separating. This might take a while, so you might want to keep a watch over it, so that it doesn’t burn (especially, if you are not using a non-stick pan).
Now, add the spinach and stir fry for a couple of minutes. Then add the chicken. At a high flame, mix the chicken, so that the outer sides of the chicken turn white. After this, reduce the flame, add the water, cover with lid, and let it cook till the chicken is done!!! Also, dont forget to add the salt. You can also add finely chopped coriander leaves when you add the chicken.
Once its cooked, yummy, tasty and healthy chicken-spinach curry is ready to serve :), and to make it more appetizing than it already is, garnish with coriander leaves !!
Serve hot with Rotis or Basmati Rice..yum yum yum !!
