Now tell me your not hungry...

 

How To :

 

1. Firstly, wack all of the diced onion into a hot oil smothered pan and lightly brown. Add the chillies, garlic and maybe a touch of water just to create a little sizzle and moisture.
2. Brown the chicken breast and once your happy that it's fully cooked through, coat it in your lovely spices (garam masala and hot masala curry powder).
3. Then add your wet stuff! Coconut milk, tomatoes, tomato purée and yoghurt (leave the cream until serving). 
4. Let the curry simmer and at this point just taste and season to your liking. You might want to add more of something e.g. heat, coconut, peanut butter?
5. When your happy with the taste and look of it, chuck on your chopped up saag (or in English - spinach). This will take minutes to sweat down and cook so keep an eye on it.
6. Garnish with your single cream to make it look b-e-a-utiful! (not that it needs it).

 

 

Enjoy! xxx
