Once the cumin is fragrant, add the shredded ginger and garlic and

turn up the heat slightly and stir fry until the color of the onion
changes.
Add the tomato slices and cook until they lose form then turn the
heat to low, add the spices and 1tsp salt and slowly turn for 20-30
seconds.
Add the chicken and stir fry on medium heat until it browns, then add
the water and turn the heat to high until it boils. Put on the lid
and turn to low heat and cook for 10 min, stirring occasionally.
Add the blended spinach, cream and heat to a boil on high. Then add a
little salt to flavor. Serve in a bowl with ginger slices on top.
Note:
Saag means any greens, not necessarily spinach. Palak means spinach.
A dish named Saag may substitue a cheaper ingredient, such as mustard
greens.
