Notes
My Top Tips On Making This Chickpea & Spinach Curry Recipe The Rest It Can Be
- If you like your curry spicier, add more fresh chili or a pinch of chili powder to the sauce. For a milder curry, use a sweeter curry powder or reduce the chili - however, I cook this recipe for my family including our four-year-old, so it's quite mild in flavor.
- Add More Veggies: This curry is so versatile, and you can easily add more vegetables to bulk it up. Toss in some diced sweet potato, zucchini, or even frozen peas for added texture and nutrition.
