Saag Curry

So I made this with Chicken... now all you OMSers will be like hm... chicken? is that allowed? And no.... technically I don't think it is. But the thing is that we have a freezer FULL of it and I am slowly in need of that space for things I AM allowed, like fish. SO I thought that eating a bit of chicken now and then for a little while will have to do. Financially I can't afford not to. I am sure though that you could make this with quorn chicken or with chickpeas and it would taste JUST as good! 



Chicken Saag Curry

Splash of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
2 onions
4 garlic cloves
1-2 cm of ginger
4 cloves
3 black cardamon pods
1 1/2 tsp of ground coriander
1 tsp of tumeric
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 
500 - 800 g of chicken chunks (depends on how much you want)
1 tin of crushed tomatoes 
1 cube of bullion (make sure it's gluten free and vegan friendly)
a pinch of bicarbonate of soda
a splash of maple syrup
Spinach, spinach, spinach(I used frozen as that is what I had at home)
Salt
Pepper

Saute the onion in the EVOO for a min or so then add the crushed garlic and ginger and continue to saute for a another min. then add all the spices (cloves, cardamon, coriander, tumeric, garam masala, cumin and cayenne) stir to make sure it's all evenly spread out. Then add the chicken. Cook till the chicken is all cooked through. Add your tin of tomatoes, I used almond milk to clear out all the stuck tomatoes in the tin and poured it in as well (so I guess you can say that there is some almond milk in there). Add the bullion cube, bicarbonate and maple syrup and bring to a boil. Add your Spinach. I used frozen and I didn't have loads at home, so I would recommend using a lot more than I did. Then salt and pepper to taste! 
BISH BASH BOSH! Not to hard in my eyes, you just need to have all the ingredients at home is all ;-)... SO basically don't do like me!

If you have paid attention you will recognize some of the ingredients from Marie's AMAZING Tomato Sauce . This is because the combination works on anything that has tomatoes in it. This ended up tasting Brilliant! Just like a lovely garlicky Saag should! yuuum!

Good Luck!
