Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 ½ teaspoons turmeric
  • 1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk (full-fat preferred)
  • 1 ½ cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth
  • 2 cups baby spinach (tightly packed)
  • Optional toppings: Fresh cilantro, lime juice, chili flakes

 

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté for 4 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, garam masala, coriander, and turmeric. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, coconut milk, chickpeas, and vegetable broth. Stir well.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in spinach and let it wilt for 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Serve hot with rice or naan, garnished with fresh cilantro and lime juice.

 

Notes

 

✔️ Adjust Spice Level – Add chili flakes for heat or use mild curry powder for a milder taste.
✔️ Use Full-Fat Coconut Milk – For a creamier texture; light coconut milk works but will be thinner.
✔️ Thicker or Thinner Curry? – Simmer longer to thicken or add broth/coconut milk to loosen.
✔️ Flavor Boost – A squeeze of lemon or lime enhances the taste.
✔️ Meal Prep Friendly – Tastes even better the next day; refrigerate for 5 days or freeze for 1 month.
✔️ Serving Suggestions – Pairs well with basmati rice, naan, or quinoa.
✔️ Greens Swap – Replace spinach with kale or Swiss chard for variety.

🚀 Enjoy a quick, flavorful, and nutritious meal in just 30 minutes!
