Ingredients
- Olive oil, to fry

- 3 cardamom pods, crushed
- 2 cloves
- Pinch fennel seeds
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- A thumb-sized piece of ginger, finely chopped
- 2 green chillies, finely chopped
- 3 onions, chopped
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- 1 level tsp chilli powder
- 1 heaped tsp ground coriander
- 1 level tsp garam masala

- 4 ripe tomatoes, chopped
- 2 x 400g cans chickpeas, rinsed, drained
- 200ml light coconut milk
- 100g baby spinach
- Bunch coriander, leaves picked, chopped
Instructions
- Step 1:
- Put a wide pan over medium heat, and once hot, add a good drizzle of olive oil, the cinnamon quill, cardamom, cloves, fennel seeds, garlic, ginger and green chilli. Stir and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for a further 15-20 minutes until soft and golden.
- Step 2:
- Stir in the turmeric, chilli powder, ground coriander, garam masala, tomato paste and a pinch of salt. Add the tomatoes, then 450ml water. Bring to a boil, then add the chickpeas. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
- Step 3:
- Reduce the heat to low and pour in the coconut milk. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, until well combined, adding the spinach to wilt for the last couple of minutes. Season to taste. Remove the pan from the heat, scatter with the coriander leaves and serve.
