    400 g Chicken leg and thigh meat
    1 Onion
    1 Tomato
    1 cl Garlic
    2 sl Fresh ginger
    1 bn Spinach
    3 tb Salad oil
    200 ml Water
    1 tb Cream

    1 ts Cumin

    MMMMM-----------------------GROUND SPICES----------------------------
    1/2 ts Turmeric
    1/3 ts Cayenne pepper
    2 ts Coriander seeds

    Remove chicken skin and cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Cut onion
    and garlic. Cut tomatoes into chunks. Cut one slice of ginger into
    small pieces, another into thin slices. Chop the spinach. Blanch in
    salted water then drain in a strainer, cool down with water, then
    blend in a blender.

    In a thick pot add the vegetable oil and heat on medium heat, roast
    the cumin.

    Once the cumin is fragrant, add the shredded ginger and garlic and
    stir fry until the color starts to change then add the sliced onion,
    turn up the heat slightly and stir fry until the color of the onion
    changes.

    Add the tomato slices and cook until they lose form then turn the
    heat to low, add the spices and 1tsp salt and slowly turn for 20-30
    seconds.

    Add the chicken and stir fry on medium heat until it browns, then add
    the water and turn the heat to high until it boils. Put on the lid
    and turn to low heat and cook for 10 min, stirring occasionally.

    Add the blended spinach, cream and heat to a boil on high. Then add a
    little salt to flavor. Serve in a bowl with ginger slices on top.

    Note:

    Saag means any greens, not necessarily spinach. Palak means spinach.
    A dish named Saag may substitue a cheaper ingredient, such as mustard
    greens.
