Ingredients

8 oz fresh spinach, washed but not dried (frozen will work)

1 inch piece ginger root, grated

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 green chili, chopped (jalepeno works well)

about 1 cup water

1 t oil

2 bay leaves

1/4 t black peppercorns

1 onion, finely chopped

4 tomatoes, skinned and finely chopped

2 t curry powder

1 t salt (to taste)

1 t chili powder

3 T low fat yogurt

8 skinned chicken thighs

chili powder for garnish

Note- you can adjust spice to your taste. I add more garlic or spinach sometimes.

Directions

Cook spinach in covered saucepan on medium heat for about 5 minutes using water clinging to them

Place the cooked spinach, ginger, garlic and chili with about 1/4 cup water into food processor or blender

Blend spinach mixture to a thick puree and set aside

Heat oil in large heavy-based saucepan

Add bay leaves and black peppercorns

Fry for 2 minutes over medium high heat

Add onion and fry for about 6-8 minutes or until browned

Add tomatoes and simmer for about 5 minutes

Stir in curry powder, salt, and chili powder and cook for about 2 minutes

Add the spinach puree and about 2/3 cup water

Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes

Reduce heat to a very low simmer and add the yogurt, 1 T at a time, stirring after each addition

Add the chicken thighs

cover and cook for about 25 minutes until the chicken is tender

Serve over rice topped with additional yogurt sprinkled with chili powder

I've never cooked Saag because other recipes look so time consuming and would really make a mess of my kitchen, plus we have several Indian restuarants close by, BUT this looks good and easy! I will be trying this really soon! Thanks so much for the easy recipe for my favorite Indian dish!
