Instructions

6 steps

  1. Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion is translucent.

    Avoid burning the garlic for better flavor.
  2. Add Spices

    Stir in curry powder, turmeric, and cumin. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Incorporate Vegetables

    Add the mixed vegetables and chickpeas to the skillet. Stir well to coat with the spices.

    Use seasonal vegetables for the best taste.
  4. Add Liquids

    Pour in coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes.

    Adjust the consistency with more broth if needed.
  5. Finish with Spinach

    Add the chopped spinach and soy sauce. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted.

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in lime juice, and serve hot over rice or with naan.

    Garnish with cilantro for added freshness.
