Ingredients

• 1 red onion

• 3 garlic cloves

• 1 inch fresh ginger

• 4 large tomatoes

• 1 tbsp curry powder, medium

• 1/2 tsp garam masala

• 1/2 tsp ground ginger

• 1/2 tsp ground cumin

• 1/4 tsp turmeric

• 1/2 tsp salt

• Pinch of hot chilli powder

• 1 tin (400ml) full fat coconut milk

• 200ml water

• 800g cooked chickpeas, drained

• 3 handfuls spinach

• 300g Basmati Rice

Instructions

1. Heat a tbsp of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.

2. Finely chop the onion and add to the pan. Fry for a few minutes before adding minced garlic and grated ginger.

3. Fry for a minute until fragrant and the onion is soft. Chop the tomatoes into halves and add them to the pan.

4. Add the spices, salt and a drizzle of oil. Stir and cook for a minute until fragrant and it resembles a paste.

5. Now add the coconut milk and water (fill the empty tin halfway for 200ml). Stir and leave to simmer for 10 minutes.

6. Bring some water to boil with a pinch of salt and add the rice. Leave to simmer.

7. After 10 minutes, add the pre-cooked chickpeas. Leave for a further 20 minutes.

8. Take the curry off the heat and add the spinach (roughly chopped). Place a lid over the pan so that the spinach wilts into the curry.

9. The rice should be cooked. Drain any excess water and serve.
