If you prefer to soak your beans for any reason, your total cooking time will probably be shorter.
Sweet potatoes, bell peppers, tomatoes, and coconut milk follow.
The heat from the curry wilts the spinach perfectly as you stir it all together.

Instant Pot Chickpea Curry
We love this recipe so much we adapted it to an Instant Pot!
Quick-soak the chickpeas according to the directions on the bag, then drain them.
Layer the ingredients (including the 1 1/4 cups water) as directed in Step 1.

Squirt with lemon or lime, season to taste, and enjoy!
Love Chickpeas?
Pour dried chickpeas on top, then sprinkle the curry powder evenly over the beans.

If you’re around, stir the curry after about 4 hours and give it a check.
If the slow cooker seems dry, add another half cup of water.
(The curry will also be fine if you’re not around to stir it.)
Sabrina Modelle
Total cooking time will depend on your slow cooker and your chickpeas.
The curry can be served any time after the chickpeas are soft and tender.
The recipe is very forgiving!
Sabrina Modelle
The curry will get thicker and creamier the longer it cooks.
Stir the curry well.
Taste and add additional salt if needed.
Serve the curry over bowls of chopped spinach, stirring to wilt the spinach.
(you might also stir the spinach directly into the curry if that’s more convenient for you.)
Garnish with cilantro and a squeeze of lemon or lime.
Leftovers will keep for about a week or can be frozen for up to three months.
