Friday night is all about curry. Something with full-on flavour, aromatic spices and a satisfying bite, served with fluffy basmati rice. Also, it needs to be ready fast.
I love creating fast recipes, as like many of you, I am always short of time. Fast doesn't need to mean unhealthy or bland and I hope this recipe becomes a staple in your kitchen, just like it is in mine.
Never be afraid to use some shop-bought curry paste; simply lift the flavours with a touch of turmeric, cumin and paprika, adding extra chilli if you like your curry with some heat. Spinach is a fantastic quick cook vegetable and is delicious alongside the earthy chickpeas.
