Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes until thick.

Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
- 5
Serve over rice, topped with cilantro, with veggies on the side.

This is used as a breakfast curry in some parts of India & it's easy to make. There are other types too, according to the ingredients used. You can grind the chickpeas along with the grated coconut or if you don't like the taste of chickpeas, avoid it. Be careful not to boil the mixture. Always keep on low flame. Eat with "Dosa" or "Idli" or any other Indian type breakfast you like. Pen Friend
