Chicken Saag - Food from India

No all my posts are about running.  I love to cook and eat good food too!!  Last night I made an Indian dish - called Chicken Saag.  It is chicken thighs done in a spinach sauce.  I love it so much.  It's mildly spiced, so something most people would enjoy.  We had it with some rice and naan bread. . . You're only suppose to have it with rice or naan bread, but hey carbs are good - esp when you are going out for a 4 hr plus run the next day.  These are the leftovers that I am having for lunch - no left over naan  :(

The recipe comes from 'Best Ever Indian Cookbook', and the recipes are health conscious.  Reduced fat, and use healthy alternatives to cream etc.  It's pretty easy to make.  I've made a photo of the recipe - I hope you can read it!!

We paired this dish with a riesling from one of our local wineries 8th Generation located in Summerland, BC.  It's still sweet, but the sweetness is much lighter than in a typical riesling.  They went together fantastically.  If you like spinach I seriously recommend this dish!!  Even my husband's daughter, who generally doesn't eat vegetables, (esp not tomatoes - yes there are tomatoes in the recipe as well) liked it - I don't think we told her there were tomatoes in it .  .  .  :)
