- 1 1/2 c. thick tomato pasta sauce

Directions
- Place the broth and chicken in the cooker. Place the frzn blocks of spinach on top. Pour on the sauce and sprinkle on the curry pwdr. Gently stir the curry pwdr into the sauce.

Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow excess steam to escape.
- Stir well. Taste the sauce, and add in more curry pwdr and salt, if needed. Garnish portions with minced cilantro, if you wish.
- This recipe yields 5 to 6 servings.
