HOW TO MAKE BRITISH INDIAN RESTAURANT STYLE CHICKEN SAAGWALA
Steps:
- Start with the spinach. In a food processor, blend the fresh spinach, green chillies and lemon juice together with just enough water or stock from your pre-cooked chicken so that it blends to a smooth paste. Set aside.
- Now heat the ghee or oil in a wok or large frying pan.
- Pour in the ginger and garlic pastes and fry for about 30 seconds.
- Add the cumin, coriander powder and chilli powder and stir to combine.
- When the spices begin to fill the room with their magnificent aroma, pour in the hot curry sauce and chicken pieces. Always add the curry sauce hot.
- Allow this to cook for about three to five minutes until the chicken is warmed through and the curry sauce is bubbling nicely.
- Now pour in the spinach mixture and stir it in. The red and bright green colours will look amazing together as the spinach and curry sauce blend.
- Cook for about another two minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and then check for seasoning. Sprinkle with the chopped coriander and garam masala and serve with white rice or naans.
