Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Melt the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the onion 5 minutes until soft.
  2. Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, and turmeric; stir 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the drained chickpeas, tomatoes, and coconut milk. Simmer 15 minutes until thickened.
  4. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  5. Season with salt and serve over basmati rice.

Tips

  • Blooming the spices in the oil for a minute before adding liquid deepens the whole dish.
  • It thickens as it sits, so loosen leftovers with a splash of water when reheating.
