• 300 grams Potatoes
• 200 grams Baby spinach
• 400 ml Coconut milk

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and chop the potatoes into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size. Rinse them in cold water and set aside.

Step 3

Roughly chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or pot over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 6

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder (if using). Stir constantly for 30 seconds to toast the spices.

Step 8

Mix in the tomato paste, and cook for another minute, ensuring the spices are fully incorporated.

Step 9

Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook until they are lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Stir in the potato cubes, and season with salt. Pour in the coconut milk and water, stirring to combine.

Step 11

Bring the curry to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.

Add the baby spinach to the pot and stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 13

Taste the curry and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 14

Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot with steamed rice or naan.
