Ingredients

  • 700 g Chicken boneless
  • 500 g Spinach palak
  • 100 ml Oil
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Black Peppercorns
  • 6 Cloves
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 tsp Ginger Paste
  • 1 tsp Green Chilli Paste
  • 3 Tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 100 g Yoghurt
  • 1 tsp Coriander Powder
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder

Instructions

  • Warm the oil in a large pan over medium heat until it is hot.
  • Scatter in the whole spices and let them sizzle gently for about a minute to release their aroma.
  • Stir in the chopped onion and cook for 4–5 minutes until it softens and begins to turn golden.
  • Mix in the garlic paste, ginger paste, and green chilli paste, allowing them to cook for 1–2 minutes so the raw smell fades.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they break down and soften.
  • Sprinkle in all the ground spices and cook for 3–4 minutes, letting them blend into the tomato base.
  • Add the chicken and cook on high heat for 6–8 minutes, stirring to coat it fully and seal the pieces.
  • Fold in the yoghurt and continue cooking on medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring steadily until the oil begins to separate from the mixture.
  • Add the spinach, cover the pan, and cook on low heat for 20–25 minutes until the chicken is tender and the spinach has melted into the sauce.
