Creamy Coconut Chickpea Curry

Ingredients

Base:

  • 2 cans chickpeas, drained
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, 1 tbsp ginger

Spices:

  • 1 tbsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp chili flakes

Finish:

  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 lime
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

1

Sauté Aromatics

Cook onion in oil until soft. Add garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

2

Toast Spices

Add turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili. Cook for 30 seconds to wake up the oils in the spices.

3

Simmer

Pour in chickpeas and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.

4

Wilt Spinach

Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until just wilted into the sauce.

Squeeze in the lime juice and season with salt. The lime is crucial to cut through the rich coconut milk.
