1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, grated

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

2 tablespoons curry powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add the Spices: Sprinkle in the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, and red chili powder. Mix and let the spices cook for about 1 minute, to deepen their flavors.

      Include the Chickpeas: Add the drained chickpeas to the pan, stirring well to coat them with the spices. Allow them to cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

        Pour in the Coconut Milk: Slowly pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine everything together. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Fold in the Spinach: Once the curry is simmering, add the chopped spinach. Stir well and let it wilt down for about 5 minutes.

            Season the Curry: Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice to taste. Stir well and let the curry simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors together.

              Serve: Remove the pan from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and enjoy your high-protein chickpea and spinach curry with rice, quinoa, or naan!
