Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1- inch piece ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • ½ cup vegetable broth
  • 2 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot or deep pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

Step 2: Add Spices and Tomatoes

  • Sprinkle in the curry powder, garam masala, turmeric, and cumin. Stir well to coat the aromatics with the spices. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to break down.

Step 3: Simmer with Chickpeas and Coconut Milk

  • Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Add the chickpeas and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 4: Stir in Spinach and Finish with Lime

  • Add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes. Squeeze in the lime juice and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve the curry hot with steamed rice, naan, or quinoa. Garnish with fresh cilantro or a sprinkle of red chili flakes for extra flavor.
