Servings 4 servings Prep Time 10 minutes prep + 25 minutes cook time (Total: 35 minutes) Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil 1 onion, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger 1 tbsp curry powder 1 tsp ground turmeric 1 can (400 ml / 14 oz) diced tomatoes 1 can (400 ml / 14 oz) full-fat coconut milk 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed 3 cups fresh spinach Salt, to taste Instructions Heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook 5–6 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic, ginger, curry powder, and turmeric; cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Add tomatoes and coconut milk; bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in chickpeas and cook 10–15 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Add spinach and cook just until wilted. Season with salt to taste. Cook's Note For a thicker curry, simmer uncovered for the last 5 minutes to reduce the sauce. For a looser consistency, add a splash of water or vegetable broth. The key is maintaining a gentle simmer to keep the coconut milk creamy. Common Mistakes to Avoid Boiling aggressively after adding coconut milk – High heat can cause the coconut milk to separate and become grainy; keep it at a gentle simmer Adding spinach too early – Overcooking spinach dulls its vibrant color and makes it mushy; add it at the very end Why This Recipe Works This curry combines plant-based protein from chickpeas with anti-inflammatory turmeric and ginger. The healthy fats in coconut milk help your body absorb fat-soluble nutrients, while spinach provides iron and folate. It's a complete, satisfying meal that supports immune health and provides sustained energy.
