But we’re not done yet – now it’s time to add in the stars of the show: diced tomatoes, water or vegetable stock, potatoes, and chickpeas.

And if you’re feeling adventurous, why not throw in some coconut milk for a touch of creaminess? It’s totally optional, but highly recommended for an extra layer of indulgence.

Just before serving, don’t forget to toss in a handful of fresh spinach leaves. Not only do they add a pop of vibrant green color to the curry, but they also pack a nutritional punch that’s hard to beat. And of course, no curry is complete without a sprinkle of chopped parsley or cilantro on top – it’s the finishing touch that brings the whole dish together.
