Method
Prep and cook chicken curry by heating 1/2 a tsp of oil in a frying pan on a medium to high heat. Cook the onion and garlic/ginger if using) for 1-2 minutes until soft. Add 1-1.5 tsp of the mixed curry spices and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add the diced chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, until browned but not cooked through.
Add 1/2 a can of chopped tomatoes and the fresh spinach and lower the heat to a simmer continuing to cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes or until cooked through.
Remove from the heat and stir in the quark or alternative.
Place the rice into the microwave and cook according to instructions.
Prep the salad onto 2 plates. Once grains are cooked place beside the salad. Then finish by serving the curry on top.
