This palak chicken or spinach chicken recipe is made with tender pieces of chicken and spinach simmer in an onion-tomato masala. This fantastic combination of spinach, chicken, and aromatic spices bursts with flavour.
Heat the olive oil in the pan on medium heat until hot
Finely chop the garlic cloves then add to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant
Add the cumin seeds and crushed chillies then sauté for a further 1-2 minutes until fragrant
Add the finely diced onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened
As the onions are cooking chop the tomatoes then add into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes
Finely chop the spinach up then add the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes until the water is released – spinach decreases in volume significantly so it may seem like a large amount, but it will become much less as the water is released
Add the chilli powder, salt, coriander powder and turmeric powder then cook the spices for 5 minutes
Add the chicken then cover and cook for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through
Add the chopped green chillies and dried fenugreek seeds
Serve with basmati rice and enjoy!
