Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 cup carrots, diced

1 cup sweet potatoes, diced

1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)

1 small onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, grated

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

1 cup vegetable broth

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (with juices)

2 tablespoons curry powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon turmeric

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups fresh spinach

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Start by thoroughly washing all your vegetables. Dice the carrots, sweet potatoes, and bell peppers into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic to release their flavors.

    Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot: In a spacious crockpot, layer the drained chickpeas, diced carrots, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, chopped onion, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger. Use a spoon to stir the ingredients together gently, allowing them to intermingle.

      Add Liquids and Spices: Pour in the creamy coconut milk, followed by the vegetable broth and the diced tomatoes with their juices. Next, sprinkle in the curry powder, ground cumin, turmeric, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir until everything is well mixed and the spices are evenly distributed.

        Cook the Curry: Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The curry is ready when the vegetables are tender and infused with flavor.

          Add Spinach: About 20-30 minutes before you're ready to serve, stir in the fresh spinach. It will quickly wilt down, contributing vibrant color and additional nutrition to the dish.

            Serve: Once cooking is done, give the curry a good stir and taste for seasoning, adjusting if necessary. Serve the warm chickpea curry generously over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa. Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of flavor.

              Enjoy: Gather around your loved ones, serve up the cozy curry, and savor the comforting flavors together!
