INDIAN SPICED CHICKEN AND SPINACH

Indian Spiced Chicken and Spinach image

I adopted this "saag" but haven't tried it yet. I feel passionate about Indian food and will try it soon and report back to headquarters. It looks like a nice, spicy saag as I like them. I would tend to saute the chicken in oil before adding to the other ingredients. Farmers cheese (paneer) could be substituted for the chicken as could lamb.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I would have liked more spices, and the chicken was a bit dry. The spinach was cooked well, but I would have preferred it to be a bit more wilted.

I love the vibrant green color of this dish. The spinach is cooked perfectly, and the spices are very well-balanced. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful without being too spicy. I would definitely make this dish again.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this dish without the chicken. It was still delicious! The spinach was perfectly wilted, and the spices were very flavorful. I served it with rice, and it was a great meal.
