Method

  1. 1

    Put the chicken, onion and tomatoes in a large pot and cover with 1.3 litres water. Bring to the boil, skim off any foam, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Slice the mooli into rounds and add to the pot with the tamarind paste. Simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the green beans and simmer for a further 5-6 minutes until tender.

  4. 4

    Stir in the spinach for the final minute, checking the chicken has no pink left at the bone.

  5. 5

    Season with a little salt and ladle into bowls to serve.
