Minty Saag Chicken Keema Curry - Ground Chicken with Spinach

We needed something really quick for dinner today because I'd been quilting all day and didn't have time to cook.  There were some lentils and stir fried okra which had to be finished so all we needed was a meat dish.  I adapted my Minty Chicken Keema Curry to speed things up.  Chopping onions and garlic would take too long so, for a shortcut, I turned to ready made fried onions and garlic that are available in the Oriental grocery store.

Servings: 6
Preparation time: none
Cooking time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb. ground chicken

1 pkg. frozen chopped spinach

2 tsp. mint-cilantro chutney (used for pani poori)

Salt to taste

½ cup crisp fried onions, from Oriental grocery store

2 Tbsp. crisp fried garlic, from Oriental grocery store

1 tsp. ginger paste

2 green chilies, sliced

Method

1. Heat oil in a pan and add all ingredients except spinach.
2. Break up the ground chicken until no lumps remain.

Mint-cilantro chutney (a.k.a. pudina chutney) may be prepared at home or purchased from an Indian grocery store.
