If you can’t get it

  • Light coconut milk — 400 ml tin → ordinary coconut milk thinned with water 1:1 — light is only the diluted version, nothing more

Method

  1. Cook the rice. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the chopped onion 5 minutes until golden.
  2. Add the garlic, the ginger, a teaspoon of cumin, half a teaspoon of turmeric and a teaspoon of garam masala. Fry 30 seconds — spices have to go into fat, not water, or they stay dusty.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes and the coconut milk, add the drained chickpeas and season with salt.
  4. Simmer 20 minutes with the lid off, so the sauce thickens.
  5. Stir in the spinach and let it wilt for a minute.
  6. Finish with lime, scatter with coriander and serve with the rice.
