Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion yellow, diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons ginger grated fresh
- 3 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 diced tomatoes fire roasted, 14.5 ounce can
- 1 coconut milk full fat, 13.5 ounce can
- 1 chickpeas 15.5 ounce can, drained and rinsed
- 5 ounces baby spinach roughly chopped
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a small saucepan set over medium heat. Once the oil is fragrant, add the onion and season with a small pinch of salt.
- Cook the onion, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until it is soft and translucent.
- Add the garlic, ginger, and curry paste and stir. Cook for an additional minute.
- Next add the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and chickpeas. Stir to combine.
- Bring the curry to a simmer and then add the spinach. Stir until the spinach has wilted-- about 2 minutes.
- (Optional) If you prefer a thicker curry, stir together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Add it to the curry and stir. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until thickened to your desired consistency.
- Serve over basmati rice, garnished with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and freshly chopped cilantro.
- Store any leftover curry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
