- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 can (14.5 oz) canned diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
- 2 cans (15 oz each) canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 5 oz fresh spinach

How to make Speedy Chickpea & Spinach Curry
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of curry powder and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant. This helps to bloom the spices and deepen their flavor.
- Pour in the contents of 1 can of undrained diced tomatoes and 1 can of full-fat coconut milk. Stir well to combine, scraping any spices from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the 2 cans of rinsed and drained chickpeas to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 10-12 minutes.
- After simmering, stir in 5 ounces of fresh spinach, a handful at a time if necessary. Continue to stir gently until the spinach has completely wilted into the curry, which usually takes 2-3 minutes.
- Season the curry with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, or to taste. Adjust any other seasonings as needed.
- Serve the Speedy Chickpea & Spinach Curry hot, perhaps with a side of steamed rice or warm naan bread if desired.
