Wash the chicken thoroughly and cut them to cubes. Add the red chilli powder, turmeric powder, ginger & garlic paste, yogurt, salt  and marinate for about 30 - 45 minutes.


Remove stems and wash the spinach really well. Boil water in a deep sauce pan, add the spinach and salt to it. Let it boil for 2 minutes and switch off the stove.



Drain the water, cool it and blend it with coriander leaves in the mixer to fine paste. Keep it aside for later.


Heat oil in a kadai, add bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon sticks, fennel seeds, dry red chilli and saute until nice aroma fills the room.


Add the onions, green chillies and saute until saute until they turn golden brown.


Now add the ginger & garlic paste and fry till the raw smell vanishes.


Add the chopped tomatoes and saute for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn mushy.


Now add the marinated chicken and stir it in for another 3-4 minutes, after that add the coriander powder, kasthoori methi leaves and mix really well.


Add about ¼ cup of water, close the lid and cook the chicken until tender. Stir in between to avoid any burning and adjust the amount of water as well.


After the chicken is cooked and soft, add the spinach & coriander puree and cook for another 4 -5 in medium flame. Adjust the amount of salt at this point.


Tadaa !!!!!!! Palak Chicken Curry is ready, enjoy it hot with rotis or even with white rice.


Suggestions:
  • You can add about 2 tbsp of cream to the chicken before switching off the stove.
  • Adjust the amount of spice level[red chilli powder] according to your taste, but the above mentioned measurements will suite all age groups.
