Instructions

Peel and finely dice the garlic. Peel and finely dice the ginger as well.

Heat rapeseed oil in a pan and fry the garlic and ginger for one to two minutes, until the garlic turns very light golden.

Add the sugar and curry paste and sauté for another minute, then deglaze with coconut milk and soy sauce. Add the chickpeas and simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir in the spinach until the fresh leaves have wilted or the thawed spinach cubes have blended well with the sauce.

If desired, some of the chickpeas can be mashed with a potato masher or wooden spoon to make the sauce even creamier.

Season the curry with salt and pepper and serve with side dishes of your choice and optionally some fresh coriander or parsley.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Coconut Milk Magic 🥥
Shake the coconut milk can vigorously before opening to ensure a smooth, well-integrated consistency that prevents separation during cooking.
Spinach Timing Technique 🍃
Add frozen spinach towards the end of cooking to prevent overcooking and maintain its vibrant green color and nutritional integrity.
Curry Paste Concentration 🌶️
Toast the red curry paste in oil for 30-45 seconds before adding other ingredients to activate its aromatics and deepen the flavor profile.
Chickpea Texture Trick 🥫
Gently crush some chickpeas while cooking to create a more complex texture and help thicken the curry naturally.
Ginger-Garlic Harmony 🧄
Grate fresh ginger and garlic together to create a more uniform and intensely flavored base for your curry sauce.
