  I halved this to serve 2 but there was nowhere near enough for a main meal for 2, ended up throwing in the whole can of chickpeas and a tin of tomatoes......better as a side dish than a main I think, just not substansial enough and lacks oooomph!

  Served this with Naan bread and we loved it but agree LadyBird that it wasn't enough for 4, we got 3 portions out of it. Will definitely have it again and there was enough oomph for us though I did use large teaspoons of all spices and normal strength chilli powder.

  Very easy and very tasty. For a grown up family I may suggest making half as much again. Also nice cold the next day for lunch

  A meal with lots of flavour and will definitely make again. This was plenty for two and enough left to go with Baked Potatoes a couple of days later which tasted even better with all those infused spices.

  I agree it doesn't serve 4 - it was enough for two plus left overs for lunch. Used hot chilli powder instead of mild. Mango chutney makes all the difference!

  I made this recipe last night. I think the recipe is enough to feed 3 as a main meal and 4 as a side dish. There was a reader comment in the magazine to use hot chilli powder to give it a kick. I decided to try this as I like my food hot but it nearly blew my head off!! Think I will follow the spice suggestions in the recipe next time. Will definately make again - was nice and filling and love the taste of chickpeas and spinach together. We had this with naan breads but could have done with some plain yoghurt or something to cool down the heat!!

  If you use raw spinach, it turns out brilliant (not liquidy)...to spice it up a bit, tweak with more spices, etc...especially red pepper flakes, chili powder with cumin, paprika/cayenne, more turmeric , etc. (garam msala) + red chili pepper slices/little rings. Good base with loads of possibilities for going in various directions depending on mood/taste...
