Instructions
- Wash and marinate the chicken with ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, salt and red chilli powder. Keep aside.
- Heat oil in a vessel and saute the onions untill translucent. Add the chicken and saute on high flame for 2 minutes.
- Cover the lid and cook for 5 minutes on low flame. This allows the onions to get soft.
- Add the washed and chopped spinach to the chicken and onion gravy, mix well. Then cover and cook for 15 minutes.
- Open the lid and give a final mix. That's it. Serve hot.
Recipe Notes
- Preferably use chicken with bones to get a more juicy and flavorful gravy.
- Adding water to the gravy is optional but not suggested, as the moisture from chicken and spinach will be quite enough to form a nice stewy gravy.
