directions
1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, and jalapeño, and saute 1 minute, until just fragrant. Stir in coriander, sugar, salt, cumin, turmeric,and coconut milk. Add chicken, and stir gently to combine. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook over medium-low heat, covered, for 5 minutes.
2. Just before serving, stir in garam masala and 1/4 cup of the water. The mixture should be just thin enough to fold in the spinach. Add more water if needed. Gently fold in spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute. Stir in lime juice and cilantro. Serve hot, with lime wedges on the side, if desired.
