A vibrant, creamy curry blending tender chickpeas and silky tofu with fresh spinach and a whisper of coconut and warming spices. This dish delights with its rich, layered flavors and comforting texture, perfect for a nourishing meal any time of the day.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked chickpeas (164g)
1/4 cup extra chickpeas (41g)
150g extra firm tofu
1/8 cup light coconut milk (30g)
1/2 cup diced tomatoes (125g)
2 cups raw spinach (60g)
1/2 medium yellow onion (50g)
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp fresh ginger
1/2 tsp coconut oil
Dash of mixed spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper)
PREPARATION
Drain and rinse the cooked chickpeas if using canned varieties. Roughly mash about a quarter of the chickpeas to help thicken the curry.
Press the tofu gently with paper towels, then cut it into small cubes.
Finely dice the half onion, mince the garlic, and grate or finely chop the ginger.
In a medium saucepan, warm the coconut oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and slightly softened.
Stir in the spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper) and let them toast for about 30 seconds.
Add the tofu cubes and stir lightly to coat with the spices and aromatics. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and add both the mashed and whole chickpeas. Stir and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the curry to simmer for 7-10 minutes so that the flavors meld. If the curry thickens too much, add a splash of water.
Fold in the fresh spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving. Enjoy this creamy, protein-packed curry on its own or with a side of brown rice, if desired.
