Chickpea and Spinach Curry

This recipe is suitable for vegetarians and at the end of the day who doesn’t love a curry. The aim with all my recipes is to try and make them healthy, quick, simple, easy and low in calories.


Ingredients (serves  4)
3 Garlic cloves1 chopped green chilli
1 tbsp Cumin Seeds
1 tsp Ground Coriander
1 tbsp Gara masala
1 tsp turmeric
Good pinch of salt & black pepper
Tinned chopped tomatoes (400g roughly)
1 Onion
250ml Yoghurt
Water
Tin chick peas (400g roughly)
Bag of spinach or similar
1 green pepper
Olive oil – good glug

Instructions

1.     Dice the onions, garlic & chilli, fry these in the olive oil along with the cumin seeds for a minute.

2.     Add all the spices to the pan along with a splash of water

3.     Heat until it is a nice thick sticky paste

4.     Now chuck in the pepper (obviously sliced) and chick peas.

5.     After a couple minutes put in the rest of the ingredients (tomatoes, yoghurt, spinach and about 100ml of water)

6.     Now let that simmer down until its nicely thickened should be 20-30 minutes
7.   Serve

I have it on good authority that this recipe is rather tasty so give it ago.
You can obviously bulk it out with rice or anything else of your choice.

For those interested a portion of this homemade curry is only 7 weight watchers points.
Enjoy
