Ingredients
3 tablespoons of Great Northern Spice Balti Curry Blend
4 boneless and skinless chicken thighs, diced
1 tablespoon rapeseed oil (or olive oil)
1 garlic clove, finely grated (or) 1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 medium brown onion, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips

Handful of spinach leaves, de-stalked
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!
