Chicken Saag Curry

This delicious and healthy chicken spinach curry is packed full of flavour. If you want to reduce the calorie count, then you could substitute the coconut milk for a low-fat version. I love to serve this with some fluffy basmati rice.

Method

  • Dice the onion. Thinly slice the fresh chilli - use as little or as much as you like depending on how hot you like it! Dice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.

  • Stir in the turmeric, garam masala, curry paste and tomato puree and cook for 2 minutes while stirring. Pour in the chopped tomatoes and coconut milk then bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and drained chickpeas to the pan.
  • Simmer gently for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • While the sauce is cooking, cook the rice according to the packet instructions.
  • Stir the spinach into the sauce and cook until it wilts. Plate up the curry with the rice and enjoy!
