Ingredients
3 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken (I used thighs)3 cloves garlic, minced2 large onions, minced2 cups chopped tomatoes1-inch piece of ginger, minced (or 1 tsp powdered ginger)4 TBS milk2 packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained2 TBS butter1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper (or a little less if you don't like things hot)2 tsp curry powder (any kind)7 TBS vegetable oil1/2 tsp salt
This recipe makes 12 servings.
Fry the chicken lightly in 4 TBS of oil for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned. Set aside.
Saute the ginger, garlic and onions in the remaining oil until lightly brown. Add the tomatoes and all the spices. Check the flavor. If it's too hot add more chopped tomatoes. Add the spinach and milk.
Place everything except the rice in a crock pot or cast iron skillet. Cover and simmer until the chicken is tender. Take care that the sauce doesn't stick, adding water if needed. I cooked it for about 40 minutes or less. Stir in butter.
Meanwhile cook the rice adding whole cloves if desired.
Serve 1/2 cup rice topped with Saag. Pass the chutney.
