Cooking Instructions:
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle the curry powder, cumin, and turmeric over the onion mixture. Stir well to combine and allow the spices to toast for about 1 minute, releasing their flavors.
Add the chickpeas and coconut milk to the pan, stirring everything together. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Once the curry has thickened slightly, fold in the fresh spinach. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and vibrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the chickpea and spinach curry over cooked rice or with warm naan, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired.
For best results, make sure to taste and adjust the seasoning before serving. If you prefer a spicier curry, feel free to add a pinch of red chili flakes or a diced chili pepper.
This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, and the flavors may deepen and improve after a day or two, making it a great option for meal prep!
