Preparation
Step 1
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or coconut oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and fresh ginger and cook for one minute.
Step 2
Add the tomatoes, curry powder, garam masala, turmeric, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. Pour in the chickpeas and coconut milk; stir until combined. Simmer on low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Add the spinach leaves and cook until wilted, just a few minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, if desired. You can always add a little more curry powder if you like a stronger flavor or more cayenne pepper if you want it spicier. Serve warm with rice or naan bread.
