Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons curry powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 cup vegetable broth
4 cups fresh spinach
Salt and black pepper to taste
Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Add the rinsed chickpeas, coconut milk, and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot over cooked rice.
Notes
For a thicker curry, simmer uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes, or whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the curry during the last few minutes of cooking.
Use light coconut milk for a lighter consistency.
Adjust cayenne pepper for your desired spice level.
This curry is excellent for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
