INGREDIENTS:

Curry

1 can chickpeas
1 can full fat coconut milk
60g spinach
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced into half moons
2 cloves of garlic, minced finely
1 tbsp. lemon juiced
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. ground turmeric
1 tsp. curry powder
⅛ tsp. red pepper flakes
Salt, to taste  

Flatbread

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup Greek yoghurt
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp. salt

METHOD:

Curry

  1. Heat a large pan on the stovetop and add oil to it once the pan has warmed through.
  2. Add the thinly sliced onions, stirring occasionally till softened.
  3. Next, add in the curry powder, turmeric, pepper flakes and minced garlic and stir until fragrant – approximately 30 seconds.
  4. Once the onions and spices have simmered deliciously, add in the can of drained chickpeas and the coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer it on a medium heat for 10 minutes to let the flavours develop.
  5. After 10 minutes, add in the spinach and lemon juice and stir through. Add salt to taste, and serve once the spinach has wilted. Serve with a piece of hot flatbread and enjoy!

Flatbread

  1. While your curry mixture is simmering, mix the yoghurt, flour, baking powder and salt for the flatbread together to form a sticky dough.
  2. Divide the dough into four, and roll each piece out on a floured surface.
  3. Cook the flatbreads for 2 or 3 minutes on each side in a large, heavy-bottomed pan or cast iron skillet. Fold into quarters and serve along with a generous portion of curry.
