CHEF’S TIP

  1. Heat the oil in a saucepan and soften the onion for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and curry powder and cook for 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in the diced tomatoes and coconut milk, then bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Add the chickpeas and cook uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Fold through the spinach until wilted, season and serve with basmati rice.
