Instructions

1
Heat coconut oil in a larger pot. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until softened and translucent.
2
Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, turmeric and cumin. Stir for 1–2 minutes until the spices become fragrant, taking care not to let them burn.
3
Add the drained chickpeas and tomato chunks to the pot. Stir well and let simmer gently for 10 minutes so the flavors combine.
4
Pour in the coconut milk. Reduce the heat and cook for another 5–7 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
5
Finally, stir in the baby spinach and cook just until it wilts (about 1 minute). Add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6
Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro. It pairs perfectly with cooked basmati rice or naan bread.
