This recipe is adapted from the palm oil chicken curry.I used to cook this when I was living in Nigeria. Palm oil is extracted from the kernel of oil palm and is reddish in colour. In Brazil it is known as Oleo de Dende..It is commonly used for cooking in West Africa, Southeast Asia and Bahia (Brazil). If you can't find this oil you may use normal cooking oil. I have used palak (spinach) in the place of African greens. (You may use any other green leafy vegetable too).
This curry is usually served with pounded yam in West Africa. We dip it in the gravy and relish it. The tastestill lingers in my mouth. In India we can only find this yam in Kerala. The curry can also be served with plain rice.
