Chickpea Curry

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine basmati rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until rice is fluffy and water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Spices

    Stir in curry powder, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 1 minute to toast the spices.

  4. 4

    Combine Chickpeas and Coconut Milk

    Add canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed) and coconut milk to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Spinach

    Mix in the fresh spinach and vegetable broth, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 3-4 minutes. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the chickpea curry over a bed of basmati rice.
