Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper, and cook for an additional minute to toast the spices.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the skillet, and bring to a simmer. Allow the mixture to cook for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk and stir well to combine. Bring the curry to a gentle simmer, then add the drained chickpeas. Allow the curry to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld together and the sauce thickens.
  6. Taste the curry and season with salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer a spicier curry, you can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper accordingly.
  7. Just before serving, add the fresh spinach leaves to the curry and stir until wilted.
  8. Add the curry to a bowl with rice or naan bread.
  9. Garnish the Chickpea and Spinach Curry with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
