Ingredients
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- ½ onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ginger paste
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- 1 tbsp tomato purée
- ½ tsp turmeric paste or 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 2 tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander
- 400g can chopped tomatoes
- 50g baby spinach leaves, washed
- 400g can chickpeas, drained
- 100ml coconut milk
- 1 tbsp finely chopped coriander, plus 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves to garnish
- 1 tsp lime juice
- basmati rice or naan, to serve
Method
- STEP 1
Put the coconut oil in a microwavable dish or bowl and cook for 30 seconds or until melted. Add the chopped onion, stir well and cook for another 1 min.
- STEP 2
Add the ginger, garlic, tomato purée, turmeric, spices and a good pinch of salt to the cooked onions. Stir well and cook for 1 min to warm up the spices – you will be able to smell them when you open the microwave.
- STEP 3
Add the tomatoes, spinach leaves, chickpeas, coconut milk and chopped coriander, and stir well. Cook for 2 mins, then stir again, followed by another 2 mins. The curry should be bubbling slightly. If not, give it another minute.
- STEP 4
Add the lime juice and serve immediately, with basmati rice or naan bread on the side and a sprinkling of coriander leaves.
