Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece ginger, grated

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

2 tbsp curry powder

1 tbsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1/2 tsp red chili flakes (optional for heat)

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Cooked quinoa or rice for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add the Spices: Sprinkle the curry powder, ground cumin, turmeric, and red chili flakes (if using) into the skillet. Stir well to coat the onions and toast the spices for about 1 minute, enhancing their flavors.

      Combine Chickpeas and Spinach: Add the drained chickpeas to the pot, stirring to mix with the onion and spices. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Then, add the chopped spinach, allowing it to wilt down, about 2 minutes.

        Incorporate Coconut Milk: Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to blend it into the chickpea and spinach mixture. Bring the curry to a gentle simmer, letting it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Finish with Lime Juice: Once the curry has thickened slightly, remove it from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Adjust any seasonings as needed.

            Serve: Spoon generous portions of the chickpea and spinach curry over bowls of cooked quinoa or rice. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for an aromatic touch. Enjoy your flavorful and comforting meal!
