Chicken Saag with Homemade Roti

That's right, Indian food! Mmm..... This one's sure to knock you Zoners' socks off! LOL

Chicken Saag (out of Cookie magazine)

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (diced and seasoned with salt and pepper)

salt and pepper

2 tbsp olive oil

1 chopped onion

2 tbsp tomato paste

2 lbs fresh spinach or 1 lb thawed frozen spinach

2 tbsp garam masala spice (yes, I was able to find it at Wal Mart)

1 cup half and half

jasmine rice, cooked (as much as you like)

Heat olive oil in large pan over medium heat. Add chicken and brown on all sides until cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside. In the same pan, saute onion until translucent. Stir in tomato paste. Add spinach and stir until wilted (or warm if using thawed frozen spinach). Add garam masala, stir and saute 8 minutes. Stir in half and half, add chicken and cook until warmed through. Season with more salt and pepper. Serve over jasmine rice.

Roti (makes 8) (from bellaonline.com)

4 cups of whole wheat flour

1/4 cups of water

Butter

Keep aside a little flour for dusting.

In large bowl, gradually add water to flour and mix well until you have stiff dough. The easiest way to do this is by using clean hands. Knead the dough until it yields a smooth texture and consistency. Cover with damp cloth and let dough rest 10-15 minutes. Knead dough again and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll the individual portions into round golf ball-size balls. Take 1 round ball at a time and flatten it into a round disk using palms. Dust your work area and rolling pin with a little bit of flour to prevent sticking. Gently roll the flattened ball into a circle, making sure the roti is even in thickness. Keep rolling until you have created a thin round roti approximately 8 inches in diameter. Heat a large frying pan on medium heat, add a little butter (or cooking spray) and carefully place the roti in the pan. After a minute or so, turn the roti. Both sides should be golden brown. Brush with butter and serve hot.

***Use the roti like a tortilla to eat the chicken saag. Enjoy!
