Introduction

This simple curry is packed full of spinach and chickpeas which makes it both nutritious and economical. I often order it as a side dish when I push the boat out and have a curry at my local Indian but it’s more than a vegetable accompaniment and makes a great meal in its own right. Serve with a portion of brown basmati rice and some yoghurt for a little hit of protein.
