i dreamed i saw joe hill last night nah jokes i made a chicken saag last night by fucking its arsehole nah jokes i made a chicken saag last night by pureeing onions, garlic, a nice fat chili pepper, a good sized cube of root ginger, a bag of coriander leaves and frying it in a tablespoon of oil & knob of butter for about seven minutes.
when the paste was good and fragrant, merged with the oil and just beginning to reach the prime of its life i added a spice mix, more or less dominated by cumin but incorporating garam masala (1tsp), turmeric (1/4tsp), chili powder (maybe 2/3tsp), coriander (1tsp), black pepper (1/2tsp) and a shake of nutmeg, just to see if it would make a difference. salt imo can be added later but in proportions depending on your taste. mix and fry until its aromatic.
on top of that i put nearly-thin sliced chicken breast and stir fried it at a slightly higher heat than the masala. when the chicken was browned and releasing juices i stuck in about a tbsp of tomato puree and a good squirt of hot water, simply to add some liquid as i'd forgotten to buy tomatoes, canned or fresh. supposedly you ought to add them here, along with the puree, but i didn't as i'd forgotten to buy them.
however i had got a hold of spinach, so i pureed nearly the entire 250g bag, leaving aside a good handful which i sliced up a bit (only a bit) then dumped in the pot some time after the puree. the spinach will give the curry a bizarre appearance, it will be green and you will be happy.
don't worry about spinach adversely affecting the taste, that won't happen. instead put a couple tablespoons of full fat yoghurt into the curry and heat for another little while. i trust you judgment when it comes to knowing when enough is enough. however i would say to stir the yoghurt thoroughly before you add it, since it can separate in the fridge and you might get an overly liquid dose instead of the good stuff at the bottom. in any case the curry will still be good.
go and make the curry, then put some in an envelope and send it to ninewells hospital in dundee with instructions that its for andrew and that he should kill himself
