    This curry is the definition of comfort in a bowl. It's creamy, fragrant, and packed with plant-based protein and fiber. Plus, it all comes together in one pot for minimal cleanup.

    🛒 Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil

    • 1 small yellow onion, chopped

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

    • 1 tablespoon mild curry powder

    • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

    • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

    • 1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk

    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave (optional, to balance flavor)

    • 4-5 large handfuls of fresh spinach

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    • Juice of half a lime

    • For serving:

      • Cooked rice or quinoa, fresh cilantro.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Instructions

    • Heat the oil in a medium pot or deep skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

    • Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    • Stir in the curry powder and turmeric and cook for another 30 seconds to toast the spices.

    • Pour in the can of coconut milk and add the drained chickpeas. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

    • Let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld. Stir in the maple syrup, if using, and season with salt and pepper.

    • Add the spinach to the pot in batches, stirring until it wilts completely. This should only take 1-2 minutes.

    • Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh lime juice.

    • Serve hot over rice or quinoa, topped with fresh cilantro.
