1 large carrot, sliced 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal
1 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced lengthwise
1 Tbs. minced fresh ginger
2 tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. hot curry powder, such as Madras

Preparation

In a 12-inch skillet set over medium-low heat, stir together the coconut milk, cauliflower, carrot, onion, ginger, garlic, curry powder, and 1 tsp. salt. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook, stirring often, until the cauliflower is tender when pierced with a knife, about 10 minutes. (If the pan looks dry, stir in water 1/4 cup at a time.)
Stir in the spinach, chickpeas, and tomatoes and continue to cook until the chickpeas are heated through and the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, season to taste with salt, and serve.

Serve with flatbread or rice.

Really quite simple to make and delicious. I made some of the modifications recommended by others - used a whole can of coconut milk, doubled up on the spices, cooked the chickpeas a bit longer. Also, I accidentally bought crushed tomatoes instead of whole ones, so I spooned them in, but they seemed to work fine.

Great recipe! I made it exactly as described for the first time and it was absolutely wonderful and a great combination with Halibut. it is also good with a meat added and then served over a bed of spinach as a salad. Lots of options!! great flavors.
