Recipe Notes
If you want to make a curry, then blanch the washed spinach leaves and puree it along with some green chilies and garlic. Just the way you do it for palak paneer. Just add garbanzo beans instead of paneer.
But in that case, you shall need to add more oil and masala and that will again kill the nutrients of the dish and make it unhealthy.
