Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Spinach Puree

    In a pot, bring water to a boil and blanch the chopped spinach for 2-3 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer to ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, blend into a smooth puree and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook Chicken

    In a large pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Add Aromatics

    Stir in minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chili. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the pureed tomato, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the oil separates from the mixture.

  5. 5

    Add Chicken

    Add the cubed chicken to the pan and stir well to coat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. 6

    Add Spinach Puree

    Pour in the spinach puree and water. Mix well and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  7. 7

    Finish with Spices

    Stir in garam masala and adjust salt to taste. Cook for another 2 minutes.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve hot with rice or gluten-free naan.
