This spicy chickpea and spinach yellow curry comes together quickly, making it perfect for busy evenings when you want something warm, deeply satisfying, and plant-based on the table fast. Made with Thai yellow curry paste, it layers aromatic spices with creamy coconut milk for a dish that feels richly flavored yet simple to prepare. Chickpeas offer fiber and plant-based protein to help steady blood sugar and nourish beneficial gut microbes. Turmeric and other warming spices in the curry paste provide bioactive compounds known to help modulate inflammatory pathways and support cellular resilience. Serve over black rice, brown rice, or white rice for a balanced, nourishing meal. Leftovers freeze beautifully, making this an ideal recipe to prepare once and enjoy again later in the week.
