Happy Christmas to you all…
Being a holiday. my husband and children wanted to hv something special for lunch and brought chicken. I got fed up of making routine gravy curries , fries . Wanted to try something different. Fresh Spinach was luring me. Then I decided to use palak with chicken. If i use the palak as it is, it would’t look nice.. so tried a different way.. And i could get only three pieces and little gravy in the end. pch..
Ingredients :
Chicken – 1 kg
Spinach – 4 bunches
Tomatoes – 2
Onion – 1
Ginger garlic paste – 1 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
Red chillie powder – 1 1/4 tsp
Salt – 1/2 tsp
Garam masala powder – 1/4 tsp
Oil – 3 tbsp
Wash and blanch ( boil palak leaves in water for five minutes and drain in colander) palak . When it is cool grind it into fine paste along with chopped tomatoes. Heat oil in a pan and saute the onions till light brown. Add turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste, red chillie powder and saute for two minutes more. Now add cleaned chicken pieces, salt and mix well. Cover with lid and cook on medium heat till the water evaporates. Add palak paste to the chicken mixture and mix well. After cooking for five minutes add garam masala, half a cup of water and cook till the pieces are well cooked and oil surfaces. This curry is good combination with rice and rotis. You can use green chillies instead of red chillie powder to make the curry in complete green.
