______________________________________________________________________
- 4 tbsp ghee
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 large bell pepper, chopped
- 2 large carrots, sliced medium-thin into quarters
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp ground turmeric
- 2 tsp ground coriander

- ½ tsp ground cardamom
- 2-19 oz cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Directions:
Step 1:
- Place tomatoes, lemon juice, ginger, cilantro, salt, 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/2 cup coconut milk into a high-speed blender. Blend until well combined, about a minute.
- Set aside until ready to add to the chickpeas and vegetables.
Step 2:
- Combine minced garlic, turmeric, coriander, garam masala, cinnamon and cardamom in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat the ghee in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions, peppers and carrots and cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes, then add the cumin seeds and cook until the vegetables begin to brown.
- Once the vegetables are brown, add another tbsp of ghee, mix and add the garlic spice mixture, and cook for another 2 minutes, being careful not to burn the spices.
- Add the chickpeas, curry sauce, ½ cup of broth, and ½ cup of coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Lower the heat to medium-low and continue to simmer until the vegetables are tender about 15 minutes. Stir in the spinach in batches and cook until wilted.
