Creamy, rich Indian Chicken Saag combines tender chicken, fresh spinach, and aromatic spices with a luxurious touch of sour cream.
Ingredients:
  • 0.25 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
  • 2 pounds fresh spinach, rinsed and chopped
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2 large onions, minced
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root, minced
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 cardamom pods
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 1 tablespoon water, if needed
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 6 tablespoons sour cream
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, sizzle chicken pieces in hot oil until golden brown on each side, about 8 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • In a large pot, add spinach and 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and let it steam for 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender and pulse until finely chopped. Set aside the chopped spinach.
  • In a skillet, sauté onions, garlic, and ginger over medium heat until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, ground coriander, salt, cayenne pepper, turmeric, cardamom, and cloves. Stir in 1 tablespoon of water and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Combine milk with chicken, simmer for 20 minutes until tender. Add spinach and garam masala, cook for 15 minutes until spinach sticks to skillet.
  • Add creamy sour cream to the mixture and allow it to gently simmer. Take it off the heat and swirl in the luscious butter.
