Add the onion, garlic, and ginger and saute until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring regularly, and lowering heat to medium-low if it starts to brown too quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Over medium heat, add the salt (SEE NOTES), coriander, garam masala, turmeric, cumin, cardamom, and chili powder, and stir on medium-low heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds or so. Dissolve the tomato paste in the water by stirring vigorously together in a measuring cup or bowl. Then stir into the spices in the pan, creating a thick spiced sauce, about 1 minute.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the spinach and gently stir to combine, as the skillet will be very full. Cover and raise the heat to medium-high, allowing the spinach to start to wilt. Occasionally remove the lid, stir, and then cover again until most the spinach has begun to wilt, about 3 to 5 minutes (can depend on the size of your spinach leaves). Remove the lid and finish stirring the spinach until it is completely wilted but still bright green, another minute.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transfer spinach mixture to a blender and puree until relatively smooth but still a bit chunky (you don\u2019t want it to be super smooth, a bit of texture is good). Taste and adjust salt and spice if necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meanwhile, wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, return it to medium-high heat, and add&nbsp;1&nbsp;tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, add the cubed chicken pieces, sprinkle salt over the top to season, and cook until almost completely cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Pour the spinach mixture back over the chicken, using a rubber spatula to get every last bit out of the blender, and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chicken to finish cooking. Stir in the yogurt, and serve immediately with basmati rice and\/or naan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients Instructions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3432,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[145],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chicken-healthy-indian-recipes"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Chicken-Saag.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3431"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3433,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3431\/revisions\/3433"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saad.appscodestudio.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
