Now for the good part

Let’s make it.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Heat oil in a saucepan. Soften onion for 5 minutes, then stir in curry powder and ginger for 30 seconds.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Add chicken, tomatoes, coconut milk and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Check chicken reaches 74°C / 165°F inside. Cook longer if needed, then stir in spinach for 1–2 minutes until wilted.

Little things that help

Make it your own.

  • Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer rather than a rolling boil so the chicken stays tender.

Keeping the leftovers

Refrigerate in shallow covered containers within 2 hours. Use within 3 days and reheat until steaming hot throughout; reheated leftovers should reach 74°C / 165°F.
