Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the diced tomatoes and coconut milk to the pan. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.

Chef's Tips
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of curry powder or add a pinch of chili flakes for extra heat.
- Creaminess: For a richer curry, use full-fat coconut milk.
- Protein Boost: Add tofu or paneer for extra protein.
- Fresh Spinach: If using frozen spinach, thaw and drain excess water before adding.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
