Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, sliced
  • 3 teaspoons chili powder
  • 5 teaspoons curry powder
  • 3.5 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 3/4 cup cooked corn
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1.5 cups packed spinach
  • Cilantro and red chili flakes, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Curry Base: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the sliced cherry tomatoes and spices (chili powder, curry powder, cumin, onion powder, minced garlic, pepper, and salt). Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and the spices become fragrant.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the chickpeas, cooked corn, and full-fat coconut milk, combining well with the tomato and spice mixture. Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat, uncovered, for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. For a deeper flavor, you can extend the cooking time, but it’s not necessary.
  3. Incorporate Spinach: Once the curry has simmered for about 10 minutes, add the packed spinach to the skillet. Cover and cook for an additional 3 minutes, or until the spinach wilts and becomes tender.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the Vegan Chickpea Curry with fresh cilantro leaves and a sprinkle of red chili flakes for an extra kick of flavor. Serve the curry hot, either on its own or paired with your favorite rice or bread.
