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 tablespoons curry powder

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional for added heat)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Cooked quinoa or rice, for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: Begin by heating the olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped onion. Sauté the onion for approximately 5 minutes, or until it becomes translucent. Next, add in the minced garlic and grated ginger, continuing to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant.

    Add the Spices: Sprinkle the curry powder, ground cumin, turmeric, and red chili flakes (if desired) into the skillet. Stir well to ensure the onions are evenly coated with the spices. Toast the spices by cooking them for about 1 minute, which will help release their full flavors.

      Combine Chickpeas and Spinach: Add the drained chickpeas to the pot, stirring thoroughly to incorporate them with the sautéed onion and spices. Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to warm the chickpeas. Subsequently, add the roughly chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until the spinach begins to wilt, around 2 minutes.

        Incorporate Coconut Milk: Pour the coconut milk into the pot, stirring well to combine it with the chickpea and spinach mixture. Bring the curry to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together beautifully. Season with salt and pepper according to taste.

          Finish with Lime Juice: Once the curry has thickened slightly, remove it from the heat. Stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice, adjusting any seasonings as necessary to achieve your desired flavor balance.

            Serve: Spoon generous portions of the chickpea and spinach curry over bowls of cooked quinoa or rice. For an added touch of freshness, garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy this flavorful and comforting meal!
