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.
