Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp coconut or olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp curry powder (or 1 tbsp garam masala + 1 tsp turmeric)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • 1 (400 g) tin chopped tomatoes
  • 1 (400 ml) tin full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 (400 g) tins chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Juice of ½ lemon, salt, fresh coriander

Method

  1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Add onion and cook 5 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and ginger, cook 1 minute.
  2. Add curry powder, cumin and chili. Toast for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in tomatoes and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add chickpeas and simmer 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Stir in spinach until wilted. Finish with lemon juice, salt to taste and a shower of coriander. Serve over rice or with naan.

Cook's notes

  • For a creamier curry, mash a quarter of the chickpeas against the side of the pot before adding spinach.
  • Leftovers thicken in the fridge — loosen with a splash of water when reheating.
