SPINACH (PALAK) CHICKEN CURRY- A HEALTHY INDIAN DINNER IN 40 MINS

January 7, 2017 by Antonet Roajer

PALAK CHICKEN

 

Spinach or Palak Chicken Curry is also known as Palak Murgh in India. It is a low-calorie healthy curry prepared in 40 mins that go well with rice.

 

Low-calorie Healthy Chicken Recipe:

Palak Murgh is a healthy Indian chicken curry recipe. It is an excellent and tastiest way to include spinach in the diet. Make sure to add spices according to your taste.

 

Smart Tip:

 

1) Avoid blanching or cooking spinach for a long time. Cooking the greens for a longer time tend to lose its nutrition and beautiful green color.

2) For blanching spinach quickly you can do it in the microwave also. Just add spinach and water in a microwave-safe bowl and cook it. Once the spinach leaves shrink allow it to cool and make a smooth puree.

 

Easy Indian Green Chicken Curry:

Palak Murgh is a traditional Indian Chicken Curry. Chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, cooked with onion, tomato, and spinach. It is a spicy, creamy and flavorful chicken recipe filled with much goodness.

 

 

Why my recipe is different?

I used chicken with bones to make this curry, so it takes extra time to cook. If you are using boneless chicken, this curry will be ready in 30 minutes. Kids would also love this chicken curry. Make sure to reduce the spices according to your children taste.

How to serve Palak Murgh?

 

 

You can serve this as a side for Roti or Chapatti.
Alternatively, even better, mix it with Rice for a delicious spinach rice.

    Thanks for the lovely recipe! Just want to clarify something though—Out of the 1.5 tbsp ginger-garlic paste you mentioned, how much is needed to marinate the chicken and how much is needed to sauté later?

    Best regards,
    Sharon

      Marinate the chicken with 1 tbsp of ginger garlic paste and 0.50 tbsp of ginger garlic paste for sauteing. Thanks 🙂

    Sounds delicious !! Please confirm if I should only add the chicken pieces or do I add the chicken with the yogurt sauce in which it marinated? Thank you 🙂
