Indian Chicken Curry

I found this recipe while on a search for things to make with swiss chard.  We had gotten swiss chard in our CSA box and I hadn't really cooked with it before.  This was a definite winner.  It was very delicious and had a great Indian/curry flavor.  I was surprised at how complex the flavors were for an easy weeknight meal.  I'd definitely make it again, and you could definitely use spinach instead.  We had it with some whole wheat naan.  I love soaking up the spicy, coconut-y liquid with the naan bread - mmmmmm!
