Hash browns with minced chicken and spinach (Sandwich filling)

Hash brown is often eaten on its own for break fast. You can also put it between two slices of bread and take it as a sandwich. You can make the hash brown more interesting by spreading some chili dip on to one side of the hash brown or a slice of bread. Instead of chili spread you can use any of your favourite bread spread.

Ingredients for Hash browns with minced chicken and spinach

Main
250 grams hash brown

150 grams spinach

150 grams minced chicken

100 grams onion, coarsely chopped

For the sandwich

100 grams cherry tomato

100 grams salad leaf
Optional

2 tsp broken chili

1 tbsp curry powder

I did not make the hash browns. I used them from a store bought bulk pack.

Broken chili can be bought from the store. If you are making at home dry roast dry red chilies for two minutes or until slight black spots appear here and there. You may also microwave dry red chilies for one minute in a microwave oven for 1 minute on high.

After dry roasting the dry red chilies you can grind them very coarsely with a few pulses in a pepper mill. You can store the ground chilies in an air tight container for a couple of months. Roasting the chilies makes them easier to grind and also makes the aromatic.

I just ground raw dry chili in a grinder
