Preparation steps
1.
Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes. Plunge into ice cold water to stop the cooking process. Peel off the skins, quarter, core and roughly chop.
2.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot and saute the onions until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and stir until fragrant, about 45 seconds. Add the potatoes, chickpeas, and tomatoes, season with cumin, curry, chili powder, turmeric, salt and pepper, add vegetable broth. Gently stir to incorporate.
3.
Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes over medium heat. Stir in the spinach leaves and continue cooking for about 2 minutes, or until spinach is wilted. Taste and adjusted seasonings as needed. To thicken, combine cornstarch with a small amount of cold water and add to the mixture.
4.
Divide between bowls and serve hot.
