What is Murg Saagwala Curry or Indian Chicken Curry with Spinach?
This lockdown has made everyone so innovative and make the best from limited resources and from everything we have stocked up.
Murg Saagwala Curry or Palak Chicken Curry was supposed to be a normal Indian chicken curry I was planning to prepare for dinner. Realising I do not have coriander stored in my refrigerator, I chose to add baby spinach to my chicken curry and this turned out to be delish with tender boneless chicken pieces cooked in aromatic spices, the richness of cashew milk and the wonderful flavor and colour of spinach that blended perfectly well with this curry.
I loved this dish and this has now become my favourite one that I’m going to prepare regularly in my kitchen for sure. Murg Saagwala curry served with Butter Roti is going to be a hit at your home as well.
