Step 1

In a large bowl, toss the chicken with ginger garlic chili paste, salt, and turmeric powder. Set it aside to marinate while you get everything else ready.

Step 2

Heat some oil in a big pot, then add the whole spices and let them sizzle for about a minute. Add chopped onions and cook until they turn a nice light golden brown.

Step 3

Stir in the tomatoes, chili powder, salt, coriander powder, and chili flakes. Mix everything well, then add the chicken along with a bit of water. Let it cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the chicken is mostly done.

Step 4

Stir in the yogurt, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently on medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 5

While that’s cooking, blanch the spinach and chilies in boiling water for a minute, then quickly dunk them in cold water to keep the color bright. Blend them into a smooth paste.

Step 6

Add the spinach-chili paste to the chicken, mix it all together, and cook for another 8 to 10 minutes so the flavors come together.

Step 7

Once it’s all cooked through and rich, it’s ready to serve. Enjoy!
