Add a handful of washed spinach, stalks removed and cook for 3-4 minutes before serving, until wilted.
Add 1 tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed 10 minutes before serving.
How to cook
Heat the oil in a large pan on a medium-high heat.
Add onions and fry for 3 minutes. Add garlic and fry for a further 2 minutes. Tip: Add a knob of butter for a silky smooth rich texture.
Add your chicken, and fry for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add chopped tomatoes, passata, bell peppers, optional chillies and our Balti Curry Blend. Simmer for a further 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Ensure that your chicken is cooked through. For a creamier curry, add 2-3 tablespoons of double cream and stir. Note: as this blend does not contain salt, you're welcome to season with salt for extra taste.
Serve with your choice of rice and sides, garnish with fresh chopped parsley or coriander and enjoy!
