I recently purchased your Cook'n Recipe Software and love it! I have tried several other cookbook programs but found them unsatisfactory.

My main goal was to put my own recipes into a system that was easy and quick. I have put in about 20 so far, and I love it. It is so easy to use.

I have tried several of your recipes and they all have been wonderful!

Thank you!!

	Chicken Tenders with Sautéed Spinach

Serves: 4

(Jaldi ka Saag-Murgh)
Category: Chicken Dishes with Greens
Makes 4 to 6 servings
This marinated chicken dish, enhanced with garlicky chopped spinach, is not the standard restaurant-style, long-cooked saag-murgh. Instead, it is a quick and easy dish, for when you want flavors you love but don't have time to cook the old-fashioned way.

1. Place the chicken in a non-reactive bowl. In a food processor or blender, process together the ginger, whole garlic cloves, and cilantro until minced. Add the lime juice, coriander, cumin, 1 teaspoon garam masala, and salt, and process again until smooth. Transfer to the bowl with the chicken and mix well, making sure all the pieces are well-coated with the mixture. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 and up to 24 hours.

2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the spinach, stirring, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and stir another 3 minutes. Remove to a bowl. 3. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken tenders, piece by piece (in 2 batches if necessary), making sure that each one lies flat and isn't crowded in the skillet. Cook until the bottoms are golden, about 4 minutes. Turn each piece over and cook until the other side is golden, about 3 minutes.

4. Carefully mix in the spinach and any juices that may have accumulated in the bowl, and stir until all the juice evaporates, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and keep warm.

5. Add the tomato wedges to the skillet and cook, shaking the skillet, until tomatoes are slightly softened, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the chicken platter as a garnish. Sprinkle the 14 teaspoon garam masala on top and serve.
