Meat Free Monday- Chickpea and spinach curry



 

MEAT FREE MONDAY

CHICK PEA & SPINACH CURRY (CHANNA SAG)


Hi, and welcome to our Veggie Kitchen. For vegetarians every Monday is meat free but the concept of "Meat Free Monday" was suggested by Paul McCartney and family.


So Monday is meat free but it should also be hassle free. No sweating over a hot stove on Monday so simple meals are the best.

Our chick pea curry with spinach is fast (takes only a few minutes to make) so try it!


INGREDIENTS
1 tin Chick Peas (400g)

1 tin Leaf Spinach (400g)

1 chilli (you can choose how hot according to taste)

1 onion

2/3 cloves of garlic

Turmeric (one teaspoon)

Cumin (one teaspoon)

Garam Mossala (one teaspoon)

1 or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

coriander leaves


METHOD
Drain the chick peas, throw away liquid. Drain the spinach.

Chop onion and crush or chop garlic. Chop chilli (use scissors it's easier)

Fry onion until soft, add garlic and chilli, fry one minute and stir in spices. Stir in chick peas and fry. After a few minutes add spinach. Add a small amount of water if it is too dry.

Add handful of coriander (optional)

Serve with rice, or Naan or Pitta Bread.

ENJOY!
