If you're not a fan of chicken, try using shrimp, paneer, or tofu instead. Serve with rice or naan (or both).

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
½ pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 (2 inch) piece cinnamon stick
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, peeled and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
¼ teaspoon garam masala
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 bay leaf
1 cup finely chopped fresh spinach
2 teaspoons plain yogurt
½ cup skim milk

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion in the hot oil until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir the chicken breast chunks, tomato paste, cinnamon stick, ginger, garlic, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf in with the chicken; cook and stir until the chicken is opaque and the spices are fragrant, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the spinach; cook and stir until wilted, about 5 minutes. Mix in the yogurt into the mixture until integrated; stir in the skim milk until thoroughly mixed. Cover the skillet, bring to a simmer, and reduce heat to low; allow to simmer until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the sauce has begun to thicken slightly, about 10 minutes.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll try it again with less chili pepper next time.

I'm not a big fan of Indian food, but this dish was surprisingly good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful without being too spicy.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The chicken was a bit dry but the sauce was delicious. I'll try it again with boneless, skinless chicken breasts next time.
