1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste

Directions:

Note: Get all your ingredients out and ready prior to starting. Makes things nice and easy!

In a large skillet, add the oil, onion, and sauté over medium-high heat until the onion begins to soften about 5 minutes; stir intermittently.

Add the garlic, ginger, coriander, cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant; stir frequently.

Add the coconut milk, carrots, chickpeas, Thai curry paste, salt, pepper, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium, and allow mixture to gently boil for about 5 minutes, or until liquid volume has reduced as much as desired and thickens slightly. I prefer mine a bit thicker and creamier.

Add the spinach, cilantro or basil, brown sugar, lime juice, and stir to combine. Cook until spinach has wilted and is tender, about 1 to 2 minutes. Adjust any additional flavoring as needed, example curry paste, salt, pepper to taste.

Serve immediately with rice, quinoa or nan bread. Curry is best warm.
