This recipe was a totally new discovery for me last year and honestly I loved it straight away. I’ve tried making it several different ways now but this is my absolute favourite.

Serves: 4

4 x Herbfed chicken breast chopped into bite sized chunks 

5 oz baby spinach chopped finely

2 tablespoons cooking oil

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 onion sliced finely

2 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste (see Notes) 

10 cashews soaked in a little water (optional)

1 tin chopped tomatoes 

1 teaspoon red chilli powder

1 teaspoon coriander powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

150 ml water

Note:

To make the ginger-garlic paste. Put 6-8 garlic cloves and a good inch long piece of ginger in a blender along with a few tablespoons of water and blend. you can throw in the cashews too for convenience and blend till smooth.  

 

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces

Chop the spinach chunky 

Slice the onions

 

Heat oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds with the onions and fry until they caramelise, Add the ginger, garlic, cashew paste and sauté for 5 minutes on medium heat or until the paste is thick and shiny. Add a few splashes of water to keep the paste from burning.

 

Add the tomatoes, spices, salt and pepper then sauté for 6-8 minutes, stirring frequently to cook the sauce.

Add the chicken pieces and sauté for 2 minutes more. Add 150 ml water and simmer on low-medium heat for 12-15 minutes or until tender. 

 

Add the chopped spinach leaves and cook for 2 minutes more, serve with naan or rice.
