  1. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the onion turns translucent, about 3–5 minutes.
  2. Stir in curry powder and cook for another minute to release oils and intensify flavors.
  3. Add drained chickpeas and coconut milk to the skillet. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Reduce heat and let the curry simmer uncovered for about 10–15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  5. Stir in fresh spinach and cook for an additional minute until wilted.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
