Thanks Sheila. I am feeling so bloated with all these meds. It's like my time of the month all month round ! Can't use that excuse even ! I feel like i'm carrying 2-3 lbs more than there is food in my stomach. Maybe the meds are giving me water retention in my body. God knows. But I gained 2 lbs this week so not a happy bunny. I hope all this bloating stops soon. Hope your doing well.

Serves 4-6

Syn Free on all plans (Green using Quorn style Chicken pieces)

Ingredients

1 kg fresh spinach
1 kg boneless chicken cubed
1 large onion finely chopped
½ tsp red chilli powder
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
2 cloves of chopped garlic
2 greenchillies deseeded and diced
1 large tomato chopped
Salt to taste
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
½ tsp cuminseeds
¼ tsp turmeric powder
¼ tsp nutmeg powder
¼ tub of Quark (62.5g)
4 cloves
2 green cardamoms
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp fenugreek leaves
1 tbsp Ex V Olive Oil (HE-B)

Method

In a large frying pan, spray with fry light, add the chicken and fry for 5 minutes to seal it on low medium heat. Once the chicken is nicely brown, remove it from the pan and in a separate dish set aside. In a large saucepan boil some water. Now add the spinach and allow to boil for 2 mins. Drain the spinach and put inside a blender. Blitz to form a paste and set aside for use later.

In another large saucepan, on medium flame, add 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, add the cloves, cardamoms, cinnamon stick and ½ tsp cumin seeds, stir for one minute. Now add the 2 cloves of garlic, now add the finely chopped onion, now brown the onions slightly and add ½ tsp of salt, keep stirring for 5 minutes until the onions have browned. Now add 1 tbsp of gingergarlic paste, add ¼ tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp nutmeg powder, add 1 chopped tomato, keep stirring until the tomatoes and onions combine into a paste like mixture. Now add 1 tsp cumin powder, and 1 tsp coriander powder, add ½ tsp red chili powder, now add 1tsp fenugreek leaves, add 2 green chilies diced.

Now add the spinach paste from the blender to the pan. Keep stirring and cooking the spinach with the lid off for about 5 minutes on medium heat. Allow some of the water to dry so the sauce is nice and thick. Now add the chicken to the pan and lower the heat and cook with the lid on for 5 minutes. Now add ¼ tub of quark and mix well. Cover the lid and cook for a further 5 minutes. Now turn off the heat. Adjust salt to taste. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Serve with steamed basmati rice.

Enjoy !!
