I used tofu instead of chicken. I cubed firm tofu then browned it in a little oil. Then I added a little tumeric and cumin to the tofu and set it aside to be added at the end. I wasn't sure what it meant to "mash" the cashews since they were raw so I blended some with a little water to make a paste and added this to the cooked spinach, the rest of the cashews I chopped and added to the dish. I also added a 1/4 t of cinnamon and 1/8 t of cloves, and some cream. (sorry--can't help but modify it a bit! ) I served it over rice. It was delicious and I will make it again!

If it's going to appear in the Vegetarian section, change the title. How about Spinach Curry with Cauliflower and optional Chicken? At least one wouldn't wonder what the heck it was doing coming up in a vegetarian search.
