Instructions
- Melt one tablespoon butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, ginger and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garam masala, chili powder, coriander, cumin, turmeric and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the diced tomatoes and water and stir to combine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Use an immersion blender (or see note below if you prefer to use a traditional blender) to purée the sauce until smooth. Continue cooking the sauce until it reaches a simmer.
- Stir the cauliflower into the sauce and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a low simmer. Stir the chicken into the sauce and continue to simmer, uncovered, for 10 more minutes or until the chicken and cauliflower are cooked through and tender.
- Stir in the spinach, heavy cream (or coconut milk), lemon juice and remaining two tablespoons butter until combined. Taste and season with salt (I used about 1 teaspoon), black pepper, and/or extra lemon juice if needed.
- Serve. Serve immediately over rice with naan, garnished with lots of fresh cilantro and extra lemon wedges. Enjoy!
