Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup (100 g) jasmine rice or basmati rice
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 small onion minced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ inch piece ginger minced
  • 1 tbsp red curry paste see notes
  • 1 tomato cubed
  • 1 cup (250 ml) coconut milk
  • ⅓ cup (100 ml) water
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup (250 g) cooked chickpeas ½ can (15 ounces)
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) baby spinach
  • ½ lime only juice
  • ½ bunch cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Cook rice according to package instructions. → I always use a rice cooker for jasmine rice.
  • Heat a large skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil. Add finely chopped onion, garlic, ginger, and red curry paste, sauté over medium heat for 3 minutes.
  • Add tomato and cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Drain the chickpeas over a sieve and rinse them under cold water. Add them with the coconut milk, water, soy sauce, and sugar to the pan, cook on low simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Stir in baby spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  • Season with lime juice.
  • Garnish your chickpea curry with fresh cilantro and serve with rice.

Notes

  • Red Curry Paste: For a less fiery curry, use only ½ tbsp curry paste or substitute with yellow curry paste, which is less spicy.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat with a splash of water in a pot over medium heat or in the microwave.
