Yellow Chickpea & Spinach Curry

Hi everyone! I'm Karolina from Poland and I write a blog sharing my vegan recipes (https://karolinaplaza.pl). It's all in Polish for now but I'm thinking about expanding and translating all the recipes to English. Here comes the first one:

Creamy, filling, colorful curry. It’s one of my favorite meals - quick and easy to make and incredibly delicious. I personally prefer thicker consistency, but if you like it more watery, just add some broth or water.

The key element in this recipe are spices. You can use a ready-made curry paste, but if you have a wide variety of spices in your cupboard, I recommend that you use them.
