Spinach Chicken Stew

This winter our little one had a lot of cold and feeding was a challenge, but the recipe that served us better then the chicken soup was the recipe below. It is an Indian  recipe. So easy to make and so loaded with vitamins, iron, and proteins. It is so good that it became our weekly meal. Here is the recipe:

1/2 cup red lentils
2 Tb of curry powder (non spicy, or mild)
1 Tb of  ground coriander
1 tsp of cumin seeds
10 oz of fresh spinach
4-5 chicken peaces(we prefer bone in thighs, or drumsticks, and sometimes even just put 3-4 peaces as we try to eat less meat)
2 cups of water
salt and ground pepper to taste (we put salt at the end and go light on it because the little one)

In pot place washed lentils, coriander, curry powder, cumin seeds, and 2 cups of water. Bring it to boil, mix, reduce heat and simmer covered for 15 min. Make sure you do not burn the lentils and keep adding water if necessary. Place chicken into the lentils, put spinach on the top add a little bit more water if necessary, cover, reduce heat and cook for another 40 min, or until chicken is done. We serve it with naan or basmati rice. So easy and yummy. Try it.
