Ingredients
  

  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained packed with protein and fiber, perfect for a hearty base
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach fresh and bright, adds nutrients and color
  • 1 can coconut milk (full-fat) rich and creamy for a luxurious texture
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped aromatic for an enticing flavor foundation
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced adds a warm, savory essence
  • 1 inch ginger, minced a zingy kick that complements the spices
  • 2 tsp cumin powder earthy and warm, essential for authenticity
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder adds a golden hue and health benefits
  • 2 tsp garam masala a fragrant mix that heightens the aroma
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for sautéing, with a healthful touch
  • Salt to taste enhances flavors, adjust to your preference

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent—this should take about 5 minutes.
  2. Next, add minced garlic and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Then, mix in cumin, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom.
  4. Stir in the rinsed chickpeas along with the coconut milk and combine them well.
  5. Now, fold in the fresh spinach and cook for about 3 minutes or until it's wilted and vibrant.
  6. Finally, serve hot with rice or naan. A drizzle of lime juice adds a zesty kick.
