210 grams | 7.375 ounces | 1 cup | 1 can | tomato sauce | |
392 grams | 13.875 ounces | 13.5 ounces | 1 can | coconut milk | You want the coconut milk in the canned goods aisle, not the refrigerated area. |
150 grams | 5.3 ounces | 1 container | plain yogurt | I'd recommend using something thicker, like Greek yogurt. | |
4 teaspoons | 4 cloves | garlic, minced | |||
115 grams | 4.125 ounces | spinach | You could definitely use more spinach here. This is just the amount I had. | ||
1 bunch | mint | ||||
1 bunch | cilantro | ||||

Methods:
- Gather all materials.
- Add 1.5 cups of water to rice, and boil. Once boiling, cover, and then simmer until liquid absorbed and rice tender. Remove from heat. (Or use a rice cooker.)
- Meanwhile, chop mint leaves and combine with yogurt.
- Heat a bit of oil in a pan, and cook chicken, skin side down. Top with a quarter of the curry powder. Drain drippings after skin side browned, about 7 minutes.
- Flip chicken, and add garlic, ginger, remaining curry powder, tomato sauce, and coconut milk. Simmer until cooked through, stirring occasionally, until chicken cooked and liquid thickened.
- Once chicken is cooked, remove from heat and toss in spinach, wilting it. Serve over rice.
