Ingredients
Makes 3 servings
- 500 g skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
- 200 g 2% Greek yoghurt
- 150 g onion (1 medium), finely chopped
- 250 g tomato passata
- 15 g fresh ginger, grated
- 2 garlic cloves (10 g), crushed
- Curry spices: garam masala, turmeric, cumin, chilli, salt (8 g)
- 2 tsp olive oil (10 g)
- 150 g basmati rice (uncooked)
- 100 g baby spinach
Method
- Mix the chicken with half the yoghurt and half the spices; marinate for at least 15 minutes (or overnight in the fridge).
- Rinse the rice, then cook it in 300 ml salted water, covered, on low heat for 12 minutes; rest for 5 minutes off the heat.
- Heat the oil in a deep pan and cook the onion for 6-7 minutes until soft and golden. Add the ginger, garlic and remaining spices and stir for 1 minute.
- Add the chicken with its marinade and cook for 5 minutes, then pour in the passata and simmer gently for 12 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (74°C in the centre).
- Take the pan off the heat, let it stop bubbling, then stir in the remaining yoghurt so the sauce stays smooth.
- Fold in the spinach until just wilted and serve with the rice.
