Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

1 cup vegetable broth

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

2 cups fresh spinach (or kale)

2 tablespoons curry powder

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon coriander powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Cooked rice or quinoa (for serving)

Juice of 1 lime (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the finely chopped onion. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and soft. Then, stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until aromatic.

    Add Vegetables and Spices: Incorporate the diced bell pepper into the pot and sauté for another 3 minutes until slightly softened. Next, sprinkle in the curry powder, turmeric, ground cumin, and coriander powder. Stir everything together, allowing the spices to coat the vegetables and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavors.

      Combine Main Ingredients: Pour in the drained chickpeas, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

        Add Greens: Gently stir in the fresh spinach (or kale) and continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the greens are wilted and tender. Season the curry with salt and freshly cracked pepper. If desired, add lime juice for an added zing and adjust seasoning to taste.

          Serve: Remove the pot from heat. Serve the creamy coconut chickpea curry warm, over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa. For an extra touch, garnish with a generous sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro.

            - Presentation Tips: For an appealing presentation, serve in deep bowls with a wedge of lime on the side, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top. A drizzle of coconut cream can also add a lovely contrast.
