- 1 cup coconut milk
Instructions:
- Sauté the Onion:
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and golden. “Onions are the base of so many great dishes, and they add such depth of flavor here,” Priya notes.
- Add Spices and Chickpeas:
- Stir in the curry powder and cook for another minute to release the spices’ aroma. Add the chickpeas and toss to coat them in the spice mixture. “The chickpeas soak up all that spice, making them incredibly flavorful,” Priya explains.
- Add Spinach and Coconut Milk:
- Add the spinach leaves to the pot, stirring until they wilt down. Pour in the coconut milk, bring the stew to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through. “The coconut milk adds a rich, creamy texture that balances out the spices perfectly,” Priya says with a smile.
- Serve:
- Serve the stew hot with a side of rice or warm naan bread. “This dish is comfort food at its finest. Simple, yet so satisfying,” Priya says proudly.
