Step 1
In a food processor, blend the spinach to a purée using one or two tablespoons of water to loosen the mixture. Set aside.

Add the green chillies and onion and continue to fry for 4-5 minutes, or until caramelised.
Step 4
Meanwhile, blend the ginger, garlic and tomatoes to a smooth paste in the food processor.
Step 5
When the onions have caramelised, add the paste, chicken pieces and remaining spices to the pan and stir well to combine. Season, to taste, with salt and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring regularly.
Step 6
Add the yoghurt, stir well and continue to simmer the mixture until the sauce has thickened and almost dried out.
Step 7
Stir in the spinach purée and continue to simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken has cooked through. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then serve with rice.
