This is an adaptation of the recipe for Chicken Lahori from the very excellent "Indian Home Cooking" by Suvir Savan and Stephanie Lyness. My copy is currently inaccessible in NYC so this is from memory.
In addition to adding the optional spinach at the end you could also add 3-4 medium-sized potatoes cut into quarters. Put them in the spice mix with the chicken at step one.
Do consider your heat tolerance. Ginger, garlic, and spices do add warmth before the cayenne and chilies. One option is to leave the green chile uncut and take it out before blending. This way you don't get the heat stored in the seeds. With the dried red chilies you could take them out before blending or just add one for the taste and leave or remove.
If you are lucky enough to have leftovers this is even better the second day.
You can make simple raita with chopped and drained cucumber stirred into whisked yogurt with a pinch of sea salt.

Curry is so forgiving!
Sounds delicious, will try it. Thanks for the recipe❤️.
Thanks for this recipe. Sounds excellent. Lots of different spices though, Would it work with a curry powder mix?
It would still be good. But not as good.
