Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Add the ground coriander, cumin, garam masala, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine the spices with the onion mixture.

  4. Toss in the chicken pieces, coating them evenly with the spice mixture. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. Pour in the tomato puree and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  6. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet, stirring until it wilts and combines with the chicken and tomato gravy, about 3-5 minutes.

  7. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to create a luxurious and creamy texture. Let the chicken saagwala simmer on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes.

  8. Check for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add a splash of water or more cream.

  9. To serve, garnish the Best Chicken Saagwala with fresh cilantro leaves for a burst of color and added freshness. Pair it with steamed rice or warm naan bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
