Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chickpeas and spinach will give your curry the best flavor. If you're using canned chickpeas, be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach wilts quickly, so only add it to the curry towards the end of the cooking process. Otherwise, it will become mushy.
  • Add some heat: If you like your curry spicy, add a teaspoon or two of chili powder or cayenne pepper. You can also add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers.
  • Serve with rice or naan: Chickpea and spinach curry is traditionally served with rice or naan. You can also serve it with quinoa or whole wheat bread.

Conclusion:

Chickpea and spinach curry is a delicious and healthy dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new vegetarian curry recipe, give this one a try.
