    Fry the sliced onion and crushed garlic in a little oil for 5 minutes until softened, then stir in the jamaican curry powder and cook for 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add the chickpeas and coconut milk, bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until just wilted.
