Ingredients
  

2 cans (15 oz each) of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, grated

1 tbsp curry powder

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust for spice)

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (or 2 fresh, chopped)

2 cups spinach or kale, chopped

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 tbsp fresh lime juice

Fresh cilantro, for garnishing

Cooked rice or naan, for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

      Spice It Up: Sprinkle in the curry powder, ground cumin, turmeric powder, and red pepper flakes. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and release their flavors.

        Combine Tomatoes and Chickpeas: Add the diced tomatoes and stir well, allowing them to simmer for about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the chickpeas and stir until evenly coated with the spice mixture.

          Pour in Coconut Milk: Gradually pour in the coconut milk, mixing well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

            Add Greens: Once the curry has thickened slightly, stir in the chopped spinach or kale. Allow the greens to wilt, which should take about 2-3 minutes.

              Season and Finish: Add fresh lime juice, and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.

                Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot over cooked rice or with warm naan.
