Ingredients

1 small onion diced
2 tbsp. grapeseed oil or other kind
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp. ginger, minced
2 tbsp. Thai red curry paste*
14 oz. (1 can) full-fat coconut milk
2 small zucchini, cut into medium cubes
32 oz. (2 cans) cooked chickpeas
½ tsp. sugar
2 handfuls baby spinach
2 tbsp. soy sauce
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
⅓ cup chopped chives

Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, pour in the oil and the chopped onion. Stir with a wooden spoon for a couple of minutes until the onions have browned.
Then add the garlic, ginger, and red curry paste to the pot. Continue stirring until they are well-incorporated.
Stir in the coconut milk, making sure to scrape the bottom of the pot and mix everything together.
Now add in the chopped zucchini pieces. Put the lid on the pot and allow it to cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and stir.
Pour the chickpeas and sugar into the pot and stir again. The curry should be gently bubbling in a simmer. Now add the spinach leaves on top and replace the lid. Cook for 2 more minutes. Stir to incorporate the spinach leaves with the rest of the ingredients.
Add the soy sauce, chopped cilantro, and chives. Thoroughly stir once more and then serve.
