how to make Chickpea, spinach, and egg curry

Ingredients

2 large free-range eggs
1 tbsp light olive oil
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp black mustard seeds
2 tbsp medium curry powder, plus extra for sprinkling
1 tsp garlic granules
1 tsp ground ginger
400g tin chopped tomatoes
400g tin chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tbsp lemon juice
100ml/3½fl oz boiling water
180g/6oz baby leaf spinach
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, to garnish

Directions

Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil. Cook the eggs for 6–8 minutes, or until done to your liking. When cool enough to handle, shell, halve, and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wide frying pan over a low heat. Add the cumin, black mustard seeds, curry powder, garlic granules, and ground ginger. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, lemon juice, and boiling water. Season with salt and pepper. Cook over a high heat for 6–8 minutes, or until reduced and thickened, stirring often.
Add the spinach to the pan and cook until wilted.
Divide the curry between two shallow bowls. Top each with two egg halves and sprinkle over some extra curry powder. Scatter with coriander and serve immediately.

how to store Chickpea, spinach, and egg curry

Store any leftover curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 days. Reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving. If freezing, store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.

tips to make Chickpea, spinach, and egg curry

For a spicy kick, add some chopped fresh chili or a pinch of red chili powder while cooking.
If you prefer a creamier curry, stir in some coconut milk or yogurt just before serving.
Use fresh spinach if possible, but frozen spinach works well too. Just thaw it before adding to the dish.

variation

You can easily customize this recipe by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini. If you want a vegan version, simply omit the eggs and add more chickpeas or tofu for extra protein.

FAQs

1. Can I use other types of beans instead of chickpeas?
Yes, you can use other beans like kidney beans or black beans, but chickpeas give a special texture that fits well with this curry.

The spice level can depend on the type of curry powder you use. If you want it milder, use less curry powder, or if you like it spicy, add more or include fresh chilies.

3. Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the curry in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just reheat it when you’re ready to serve.
