Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, ~3 minutes.
Step 2
Add minced garlic (1 clove) and garam masala. Stir constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Pour in canned tomatoes with juice and chickpeas. Bring to a gentle simmer for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Stir in coconut milk. Add fresh spinach in batches, stirring until fully wilted, ~2 minutes total.
