Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Spices

    Sprinkle in the curry powder, stirring well to coat the onions and release the flavors. Cook for about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed), coconut milk, vegetable broth, and salt to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low and allow it to cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken slightly.

  5. 5

    Add Spinach

    Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with black pepper and more salt if needed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve warm in bowls with a side of bread for dipping.
