Ingredients
- 1 Onion diced
- 600 g Chicken breast cut into bite size chunks
- 2 tsps minced garlic
- 1 tbsp Curry powder
- 1 tbsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- ½ tsp Ground cinnamon
- 800 g Tinned chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp Tomato pureé
- 400 g Tin of coconut milk
- 2 Medium sized sweet potatoes cut into small chunks
- 100 g Baby spinach
Instructions
- Fry the onion over a medium to high heat in a little sunflower oil for about five minutes until the onion softens.
- Add the chicken to the pan and cook for a few minutes just to seal the meat. (No pink bits visible)
- Add in the garlic paste, followed by the curry powder, cumin, coriander and cinnamon. Stir well to coat the chicken. Cook for 1-2 minutes to release all the flavours.
- Pour in the tinned tomatoes and the coconut milk. Add the tomato pureé and stir well.
- Add in the chopped sweet potato.
- Season with salt and pepper, then leave to simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. If it gets too dry then add a splash of water.
- Once the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potato has softened, add the baby spinach leaves and take it off the heat.
- Once the spinach has wilted slightly, stir it through.
- Serve the curry with boiled rice and naan bread.

I cooked this for dinner on Sunday afternoon. Absolutely delicious however, the sweet potato was still quite raw after 20 minutes cooking time and finally cooked through at 50 minutes though not completely soft. I used chicken breast as per your recipe however, next time I will use chicken thighs as they don’t dry out and remain tender and juicy.
This is absolutely divine! We’ve made it a few times and every time is is incredibly delicious! It’s easy and everyone goes back for seconds!! Super tasty – highly recommend!😋😋
Another easy and tasty recipe from Jon. The fact he makes it look simple encourages me to try stuff. This was absolutely gorgeous. Will try it next time with a North Indian spice mix instead
This curry was a massive hit for all my family, including the children! So easy to make and packed full of flavour, definitely recommend giving this a try 😍
