3 chicken breast cut into small 1/2 inch cubes
2 bunches English spinach roughly chopped
1 red onion chopped into small diced
1 inch ginger chopped into small dices
3 garlic cloves chopped. I also kept the skins and washed these - to fry with spices. I find most of the flavor of the garlic is in the skins.
6 cardamon pods
1 bay leaf
6 leaves curry leaves
1 sprig mint chopped
3 tpsn Chicken masala powder
2 tpsn turmeric powder
1 tpsn pepper power
2 tabsp tomato puree
salt to taste
1/2 cup oil to fry spices

Take the cubed chicken in a bowl and add the following ingredients: 2 teaspoons of chicken masala powder. 1 teaspoon of turmeric, 1 chopped green chili, salt and mix well. Leave to marinate for 1 hour.

Next take a pot and add 1/4 oil in the pan. heat oil gently and add the cardamon pods, bay leaf, curry leaf to this. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Take off heat and place in separate bowl.
Use the above pot to make the curry sauce. Do not wash

In the chicken pot add some oil. heat gently without burning
add the ginger and garlic (skins too) and fry, next add the chopped onions. fry for 3 to 5 minutes
Next 2 teaspoons of chicken masala, 1 teaspoon of turmeric and fry the mixture. Add some water to stop mixture from burning.
In a separate pot heat water and blanch the English spinach. Drain, cool and puree. This will be added in next step to the chicken.
Next add the half cooked chicken and the spinach puree and 2 tablespoons of tomato puree.. Bring to a boil and cook for 8 to 12 minutes

This dish came out better than I expected it to. It is a tasty dish made with English spinach puree.
