Delicious Chicken And Spinach Curry Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or coconut oil)
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion, garlic, ginger, and spinach. Dice the chicken.

    Ensure chicken pieces are uniform for even cooking.
  2. Heat Oil

    In a large pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

    This releases the flavor of the spices.
  3. Cook Onions

    Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown.

    Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  4. Add Garlic and Ginger

    Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger; cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Do not let them burn.
  5. Add Chicken and Spices

    Add the diced chicken, curry powder, turmeric, coriander, and red chili powder. Cook until chicken is browned.

    Stir well to coat chicken with spices.
  6. Add Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk and water, then bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cover.

    Let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
  7. Add Spinach

    Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 5 minutes until wilted.

    Add more water if the curry is too thick.
  8. Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with rice or naan.

    Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
