Easiest way to cook a chicken curry! You can replace the chicken with any other meat or veg.
Serves: 4
Syns: FREE
Time Taken: 60 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
- 500g chicken breast, chopped
- 3 onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon worth of Garlic and ginger, chopped
- 500g Passata
- 1 tablespoon Tomato puree
- Frozen chopped spinach
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- ½ tablespoon paprika powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin powder
- Handful of fresh coriander stalks and leaves
- 250 ml chicken stock

Method
Spray a pan with lots of fry light and fry the onions, garlic and ginger until golden with the lid closed. This takes around 15-20 minutes. Add some chicken stock to stop it from burning.
Add passata, tomato puree, frozen spinach, coriander and spices and cook on high heat for about 5 minutes. Add stock if needed to stop it burning again.
Add chicken and cook for another 5 minutes on high heat, stirring constantly. Add chicken stock (however much or little needed) and salt to taste. Let it cook on low heat until chicken is fully cooked, around 25-30 minutes depending on how big the pieces of chicken are.

Hiya, 1 tablespoon of ginger/garlic paste and tomato puree and a whole carton of passata.
Thank you
I’m in the process of making this curry and using East End tinned spinach – roughly quarter of a tin. Tastes okay so far 🙂 What curry powder did you use? I’ve got East End Mild Madras.
I’m lucky that I have access to an Indian supermarket but will admit to going slightly nuts and now have something like 5kg of mild and 5kg of hot – in addition to everything else. Such bargains.
Hi Dawn, I use a brand called Alamgeer. It is really good and quite spicy, you should be able to get it from your local Indian shop. Enjoy the curry x
