Tips
Check if the chickpeas are tender by squeezing one between the fingers – but be careful as they can be very hot. If the chickpea smashes easily, the mixture is done, and you can add the spinach and mint as a final touch. But only add the spinach and mint if you are about to serve the dish; otherwise, the fresh leaves will wilt when cooked too long and lose some of their bite. On the off chance that you have some leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for a few days. Once the curry has cooled down, transfer it to a container with a lid. You can reheat the dish on the stove over medium to low heat or in the microwave in 30-second intervals until it has reached the desired temperature.

Delicious grilled salad cheese on top
The tomato chickpea curry is topped with grilled salad cheese. For this recipe, we go with a Mediterranean-style white cheese. The cheese is cut into smaller cubes and grilled in a pan with butter over high heat until it has a beautiful golden colour. The grilled cheese adds a creamy-tasting, soft texture to the dish while retaining its distinct salty flavour. It has all the rich, tangy, savoury goodness you are looking for in grilled cheese and provides the perfect balance to the sweet and spicy flavours of the curry.
Serve with Greek yoghurt and mango chutney
Every spicy dish needs a sweet and tangy friend. Serve the vegetable and chickpea curry with homemade mango chutney packed with aromatic hints of cinnamon and ginger. The sauce-like chutney pairs wonderfully with the spicy dish and gives a well-rounded flavour. We add a dollop of Greek yoghurt to tie all the different aromas and flavour profiles together. With a velvety texture and tangy taste, the thick and creamy goodness comes in handy for sweet and savoury experiences.
