Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans Chickpeas 15 oz each, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can Crushed tomatoes 28 oz
  • 1 whole Yellow onion diced
  • 1 whole Red bell pepper diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1.5 tbsp Curry powder for flavor
  • 2 cups Vegetable broth low sodium preferred
  • 1 cup Green peas frozen or fresh
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil extra virgin
  • 0.5 cup Plain yogurt for garnish
  • 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro chopped
  • 4 pieces Naan bread warmed
  • 1 whole Lemon cut into wedges

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and curry powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the spices and release their aromas.
  • Pour the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth into the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  • Add the drained chickpeas, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Stir in the green peas and fresh spinach. Continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the spinach is completely wilted.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Serve the stew hot in bowls, accompanied by warm naan bread, and garnished with a dollop of plain yogurt, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
