Chickpea Spinach Curry

BRAIN-HEALTHY RECIPE:

Try this delicious Taste-of-India Alzheimer’s-fighting side-dish. The chickpea base is rich in dementia-resistant arginine. While high-iron chickpeas and spinach guard against stroke and vascular dementia, India’s curry spice is rich in neuroprotective turmeric. This offers the brain an added preventative to fight off Alzheimer’s. Serve over brown rice.

  • Serves: 6

  3. Add onion mixture and curry. Sauté 3 minutes.
  4. Add chickpeas and tomatoes; simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in spinach, water, and salt. Cook another minute until spinach wilts.

Variation

  • Try with other beans, such as navy beans, black-eyed peas, or lentils instead of chickpeas. These beans should be cooked before using in this recipe.
