Notes
Tip from my kitchen: really toast the spices briefly in the oil before the chickpeas go in – it deepens the flavour enormously. I always add the spinach right at the end so it stays nice and green. If you like more heat, stir in a pinch of chilli or some fresh chilli pepper. Leftover curry tastes almost better the next day, once the spices have had time to mingle.
