Ingredients

• 400g ASDA Organic Chickpeas (canned or cooked)
• 200g ASDA Organic Brown Rice
• 1 large ASDA Organic Red Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves ASDA Organic Garlic, minced
• 1 ASDA Organic Red Bell Pepper, diced
• 200g ASDA Frozen Spinach
• 400ml ASDA Organic Coconut Milk
• 2 tbsp ASDA Organic Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp ASDA Curry Powder
• 1 tsp Ground Cumin
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• Fresh coriander for garnish

Equipment

• Large saucepan with lid
• Frying pan or wok
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Chopping board and sharp knife
• Measuring spoons
• Colander (if using canned chickpeas)
• Serving bowls or plates

Instructions

1. Prepare the rice: Rinse the ASDA Organic Brown Rice under cold water. In a saucepan, add the rice with 400ml of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover. Simmer for 35-40 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered.
2. Sauté the aromatics: While the rice cooks, heat 2 tbsp of ASDA Organic Olive Oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped red onion and minced garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the vegetables: Stir in the diced red bell pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Then add the frozen spinach, stirring until it thaws and combines well.
4. Spice it up: Sprinkle in the curry powder and ground cumin, stirring constantly to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to release the spices’ aromas.
5. Add chickpeas and coconut milk: Drain and rinse the ASDA Organic Chickpeas. Add them to the pan along with the coconut milk. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
6. Simmer the curry: Reduce the heat to low and let the curry simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
7. Season to taste: Add salt and pepper as needed. Adjust seasoning according to your preference.
8. Serve: Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it into bowls. Spoon the chickpea curry over the rice and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Tips & Variations

For a creamier texture, add a tablespoon of almond butter or tahini to the curry during simmering.

If you prefer more heat, toss in some chopped fresh chili or a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Swap brown rice for quinoa or couscous for a different grain experience.

To add more protein, mix in some cooked lentils or tofu cubes.
