Method

  1. Soften onion, garlic and ginger in vegetable oil. Stir in garam masala, cumin, ground coriander, turmeric and salt.
  2. Wilt spinach with a splash of water. Blend until almost smooth.
  3. Brown chicken thighs in a second pan. Pour in the spinach sauce and simmer 12 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Finish with lemon juice and coriander.

Shopping tip

Espinafres (fresh bags or frozen, squeezed) and coxas de frango are easy. Garam masala at Continente. Keep the sauce a little runny for rice.
