Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Finely chop cilantro. Drain and rinse chickpeas.
In a small bowl, combine yogurt and cilantro. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
In a large pan, combine chickpeas, cream sauce base, curry sauce base, ¼ cup water, ½ tsp sugar (½ cup water and 1 tsp sugar for 4 servings), a pinch of salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then stir in spinach. Reduce to a low simmer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and spinach has wilted, 3-5 minutes. TIP: If the spinach doesn't fit all at once, add a handful at a time until it wilts down.
While curry cooks, massage rice in packet to break up grains; partially open package. Microwave until warmed through, 90 seconds. TIP: Microwave times may vary. Be careful when handling and opening the pouch—steam may release!
Divide rice and curry between shallow bowls in separate sections. Top with cilantro yogurt sauce and as many almonds as you like. Serve.
