Instructions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat. Add the onion and peppers and cook for 5 minutes, or until they soften.
Add the chopped chicken and cook, stirring a bit, for 5 minutes, or until the chicken cooks mostly through.
Add the garlic and ginger and stir. Cook for 1 minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Add the spinach a handful at a time and cook it down, stirring as you go. Cook for 5 minutes. The spinach will break down considerably.
Stir in the seasonings and the milk. Stir to make sure everything is evenly incorporated. Simmer for 15 minutes.
Bring the curry to a quick boil, then remove from heat. Stir in the yogurt until it is fully incorporated.
Swirl in 1 tablespoon butter for added richness.
Garnish and serve! I like to serve mine with rice and some pita bread to sop up the creamy curry sauce.
