Put the chicken in a medium bowl. Mix in the lime juice, paprika, chilli powder and a grinding of black pepper, set aside to marinate whilst we prepare the veggies.

Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick pan. Place in the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, chilli and cumin seeds, and stir to release the flavour. Add in the onion, garlic and ginger and fry over a medium-high heat for 3-4 mins until the onion starts to turn brown.

Add the remaining oil, then drop in the chicken and stir-fry for 2-3. Then pour in the turmeric, cumin, ground coriander and garam masala into the pan, turn down the heat so it slowly simmers for a few mins, then add the passata the water, then add the slices of pepper.

Keep the heat low so it slowly simmers down which should be 15 – 20 minutes. Leave it longer if you like it just gets better

Once the chicken is tender add the chopped tomato, simmer for 2-3 mins, then add the spinach and turn it over in the pan to just wilt. If you want to thin down the sauce, splash in a little more water.Enjoy
