Ingredients

1 tbsp oil
1 onion, sliced
600g boneless chicken thighs or breast, cut into large chunks
100g Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste (mild, medium, hot or chilli-free)
400g tin chopped tomatoes
1 tsp Shemin’s Biryani / Pilau Spice Blend
3 medium potatoes, cut into bite sized chunks
200g fresh spinach
1 knob butter
lime juice to taste
handful fresh coriander

How to make Biryani Spiced Chicken Curry

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and gently fry the onions until browned, around 10 minutes.
Add the chicken to the pan and cook until sealed and turning brown, about 5 minutes. Then add Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste with a splash of water, and cook on a gentle heat for 3 minutes. Make sure the chicken and onion are well coated.
Pour in the chopped tomatoes, Shemin’s Biryani / Pilau Spice Blend, and the potatoes. Let the mixture simmer for 25 minutes with the lid on, or until the potatoes are soft and the chicken is cooked through. Then add the butter and stir until melted.
Tip in the spinach and cook until wilted. Then squeeze in the lime juice to taste and check the seasoning.
Stir in the fresh coriander and serve with rice and naan bread.

Tips

TIP: This recipe is also delicious if you replaced the chicken with quorn for vegetarians.
