1

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• ½ onion, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tsp garlic–ginger paste
• ½ tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 2 tomatoes, roughly chopped
• 1 x 400g tin of chickpeas
• 2 handfuls of spinach leaves
• Squeeze of lemon juice
• Handful of coriander leaves
• Coconut yogurt, to serve – optional

Method

1. Melt the coconut oil in a saucepan over a low heat. Chuck in the onion, along with a pinch of salt. Cook for 6 minutes until soft.

2. Stir in the garlic–ginger paste, turmeric and garam masala. Cook for 1 minute, stirring until it smells fragrant.
