- curried chicken with spinach & tomatoes
- 1 cup rice
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 large onion (for about 1 cup chopped)
- 1/4 cup mango chutney
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes seasoned with onions
- 2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons curry powder (mild or hot, depending on your taste)
- (or throw in your favorite mix of curry spices — turmeric, cardamon, etc)
- 6 handfuls spinach
- 2-3 Tablespoons pine nuts
- black pepper to taste
How to make Chicken Curry with Spinach:
- Cook the rice according to the package directions.
- What if you don’t have mango chutney sitting around? Don’t worry, you can still make this delicious dish! Remember that a chutney is simply an Indian relish made with cooked or uncooked fruits or vegetables, vinegar and/or lemon juice, a sugar, and spices, and varying in spiciness from mild to hot. Keeping that in mind, make a quick inventory of your kitchen – apples, pears, cucumbers, applesauce, pineapples, or peaches are all fair game. Peel and chop your fruit (if using fresh fruit). Finely chop a little onion, throw it in a skillet with some butter and cook til soft. Add a little sugar, brown sugar, or honey. Simmer until it’s a nice caramel color. Add a bit of chopped jalapeno or canned diced chilis. Add the fruit, and a little lemon juice and/or balsamic or apple cider vinegar and simmer. You just made chutney!
- Peel and coarsely chop the onion, aCut the chicken into bite-sized chunks and add to the skillet. Raise the heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 6 minutes. When the chicken is no longer pink in the center, reduce the heat to medium. Add the tomatoes with their juice, along with the garlic, ginger, chutney and curry powder. Stir to mix well.
- Sprinkle the spinach on top of the chicken mixture and cover the pan. Steam the spinach just until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. (The spinach will not be fully wilted at this point, but the heat from the sauce will finish the cooking.) Add the pine nutsRemove the skillet from the heat, and add the sour cream. Stir until the sour cream is fully incorporated into the sauce. Season lightly with black pepper. To serve, spoon the chicken mixture over hot, steamed rice.

Potato Curry Recipe
Potato Curry Ingredients:
Potato Curry Recipe
- 12 even-sized small boiling potatoes
- OR
- 4 medium-sized red potatoes
- 7 tablespoons light vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger root
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 4 teaspoons ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 3/4 teaspoon red pepper
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 cup canned tomatoes
- 2/3 cup plain yoghurt
- 4 teaspoons salt (I use sea salt)
- 2/3 cup heavy cream (optional)
How to make Potato Curry:
- Peel potatoes and prick them in 4 or 5 places. Put them in a bowl of cold water until you are ready to cook them.
- Heat 5 Tbsp. of the vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan that can hold all the potatoes in one layer (such as a 5-quart casserole; cast iron Dutch oven is great) over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, drain the potatoes, pat them dry on paper towels, and add to pan with oil. Fry them until they acquire several tiny browned spots and a crust (about 8-10 minutes), turning and tossing them to ensure even browning. (This is an essential step, as the browning prevents the potatoes’ falling apart during prolonged cooking.) With a slotted spoon, transfer them to a bowl.
- Add the rest of the oil to the pan along with the onions. Fry until the onions turn caramel brown (the onions will become kind of sticky and the oil will separate from them — about 15 minutes), stirring constantly so that they do not burn. Add ginger, and fry for an additional 30 seconds. Add cumin, coriander, turmeric, red pepper, and Mughal garam masala all at once, and stir rapidly for 15 seconds. Add tomatoes, yoghurt, salt, and the fried potatoes (in one layer), and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer very gently, covered (we also crimp some aluminum foil around the lid edges to ensure a good seal), for 35 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked. Check during cooking to make sure the gravy is not sticking and burning. The gravy should be thick enough to coat the potatoes. If it looks thin and runny, increase heat and boil rapidly, uncovered, until it reduces to the desired consistency. If, on the other hand, the gravy is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water.
- Add cream, stir, and simmer until heated through. If you want the dish to taste milder and subtler, stir in a little more oil (about 2 T). Check for salt, and serve.
- Note: This dish improves with keeping. For best results make it at least a few hours before you are going to serve it. It can be refrigerated for up to 4 days without loss of flavor.

How to make Dal kofta curry:
To make the Koftas:
- Sprinkle the grated zucchini with a little salt, mix well and allow to drain in a colander atop another larger bowl for at least 30 minutes. Using a tea towel, gently squeeze out any excess liquid. Reserve the drained liquid. Finely mince the grated zucchini and set aside until needed.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the moong dal flour with the rice flour and add the spices (turmeric, ground cumin powder, ground coriander powder, red chili powder, salt and pepper). Mix well and add the zucchini, ginger, green chilies, shallots and cilantro leaves. In small increments, add enough water to form a thick batter.
- In a large deep skillet or work on medium high heat, add enough oil to shallow fry. When hot, carefully add large tablespoonfuls of the batter. This may be done in batches but gently fry the koftas on all sides until they are golden brown. Drain well and set aside.
- At this point, they can be served as appetizers with your favorite chutneys or sauces. Also, once they have cooled, you can freeze any extra koftas in an airtight plastic freezer bag or container.
To make the Curry:
In a large deep skillet on medium high heat, add the oil and when hot add the onions. Let fry for a few minutes until just lightly browned and then add the garlic. Stir fry and add the spices (ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, salt and pepper). Let the spices cook for a few minutes and then add the tomatoes and the tomato paste. Next, add the lemon/lime juice and the reserved zucchini liquid. There should be enough liquid (about 1.5 cups, add water if needed). Cover, reduce the heat and let simmer 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat, let cool slightly (10-15 minutes) and stir in the cream or yogurt. Carefully add the koftas and gently reheat on low. Let the koftas soak in the curry for 8-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro and serve hot with fresh rotis and fragrant Basmati rice.
