When you want something warm, filling and genuinely nourishing, this chickpea curry delivers. It’s built from store-cupboard staples, comes together in one pot, and tastes even better the next day.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves + 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 tbsp curry powder (or 1 tbsp garam masala + 1 tsp cumin)
  • 2 x 400g tins chickpeas, drained
  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tin light coconut milk
  • 3 big handfuls spinach
  • Salt & juice of ½ lemon

Method

  1. Soften the onion in oil for 5 minutes. Add garlic, ginger and spices; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Stir in chickpeas, tomatoes and coconut milk. Simmer 15 minutes until thickened.
  3. Fold through the spinach until wilted, then finish with salt and lemon juice.

Freezes beautifully for up to 3 months — make a double batch for easy future dinners.

Good to know

Chickpeas bring plant protein and fibre that keep you full for hours, while spinach adds iron and folate. Serve with rice or warm flatbread.
