Normally we cook chickpea as chole masala (chickpeas cooked in onion-ginger-garlic gravy with lots of spices). Palak/spinach is one of my favorite leafy vegetable. I thought why not combine this two ingredient together. If you notice, i have not added ginger paste in this recipe as i feel ginger does not go well with spinach whereas garlic complements well with spinach and enhance the taste. Normally when i cook leafy vegetables i avoid adding tomatoes instead i prefer to add lime juice to get the tanginess in the gravy.
