Creating this Chickpea & Spinach Curry is easy and fun if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add Spices: Sprinkle in the curry powder, cumin seeds, and turmeric. Stir to evenly coat the onions and let the spices bloom for about 2 minutes.
4. Incorporate Chickpeas: Add the drained chickpeas to the skillet, stirring to combine well with the spice mixture.
5. Pour Coconut Milk: Slowly pour in the coconut milk, mixing well to create a creamy sauce. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Add Spinach: Gradually stir in the chopped spinach until wilted and fully combined into the curry, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.
7. Season: Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro, if using.
9. Serve Hot: Spread serving bowls with warm rice or naan, then ladle the curry over the top.
