It’s also a great recipe that can easily be doubled to feed a larger crowd or to store away as a meal for another day of the week when you may be too busy to labour in the kitchen!

The tender indian curry chickpeas, which are added to a tomato-onion gravy with soft spinach and flavored with just a handful of spices, give this vegan dish wonderful body and creaminess, allowing you to eat a chickpea curry without coconut milk. Yummy! 

A Healthier Vegetarian Option

This dish is a great source of iron from the spinach and protein from the chickpeas which makes it one of the healthiest  curries you could make. 

Who knew that curried chickpeas and spinach would soon become a family favourite in my household, but it has. With this recipe, you can expect to get four large servings, or six if served with some basmati rice, naan bread, or perhaps a green salad on the side.

Give this low-cost, vegan curry a try and if you want to try other curry recipes that I can vouch for, check out my Creamy Kashmiri Chicken Curry. Either way, you won’t be disappointed.
