Chicken Balti with Spinach (Murgh Balti Saagwala)

Chicken Balti with Spinach (Murgh Balti Saagwala)

This Balti dish is a real favourite as it includes spinach making it a tasty and tangy Saagwala(a Saagwala being a popular form of Indian dish in restaurants across the UK essentially characterised by the appearance of spinach. Balti is best served with one of our Patak's naan breads - I just love dipping these in and using it to mop up the gravy. Delicious taste plus you get the goodness of the spinach. Try yogurt instead of cream if you want to cut down the calories of the dish it tastes equally fantastic.
