Instructions
Before starting, wash and dry all produce.Heat Guide for Step 3: 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) mild, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) medium, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) spicy and 1 tsp (2 tsp) extra-spicy! Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Meanwhile, peel, then finely chop shallot. Roughly chop cilantro. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop spinach. Finely chop chili, removing seeds for less heat. (TIP: We suggest using gloves when prepping chili!)
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan to melt. Add shallots. Cook, stirring often, until almost tender, 2-3 min. Add Indian Spice Mix, curry paste, tomato sauce base, garlic and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) chilis. (NOTE: Reference heat guide.) Cook, stirring often, until shallots are tender and spices are fragrant, 1-3 min.
Add chickpeas with canning liquid, broth concentrate and 1/2 cup (1 cup) water to the pan with shallots. Using a potato masher, roughly mash chickpeas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until curry thickens slightly, 7-8 min. (TIP: If needed, reduce heat to medium to maintain a gentle simmer!) Season with salt and pepper. Add spinach, then stir until wilted, 1-2 min.
Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in half the cilantro and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter.Divide cilantro rice and spiced chickpeas between bowls. Sprinkle remaining cilantro over top.Dollop yogurt sauce over top.
