Ingredients:

1 chicken, cut into serving pieces
2 onions, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, blanched, peeled and sliced thinly
2 garlic cloves, sliced into thin slivers
1 cinnamon stick (about 5cm long)
60ml cooking oil
1 dessert spoon ./search.php?cat=1&ingredient=curry+paste&t=1">curry paste (your choice)
seeds from 2 cardamom pods
2 cloves
1 dessert spoon ground almonds (or substitute ground poppy seeds)
500g spinach, spring greens, sweetheart cabbage (etc), washed and shredded
salt, to taste

Method:

Heat the oil in a wok or karahi. Add the onions and fry for about 4 minutes then stir in the garlic, tomatoes, the ./search.php?cat=1&ingredient=curry+paste&t=1">curry paste and the spices. Mix well to blend and continue stir-frying for 5 minutes more. Add the chicken piece and stir into the spice paste, ensuring that you turn them over so that they are coated in the spice paste mix.

Reduce to a simmer, cover the pan and cook gently for 20 minutes. Check the pan every now and then to ensure the mixture is not drying too much and beginning to burn (if it is, add a little boiling water).

Now stir in the greens, cover the pan and cook for about 5 to 10 minutes more, or until the greens have wilted and the chicken is tender and completely cooked through. Season to taste with salt and serve.
