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
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Add onion and cook 5 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic and ginger, cook 1 minute.
- Add curry powder, cumin and chili. Toast for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in tomatoes and coconut milk. Bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add chickpeas and simmer 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- 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.
