  1. Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Trim, peel and cut the beetroot into 2cm cubes. Place onto a lined baking tray and roast in the oven for 25-30 mins, until soft. Bring a large saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
  2. Finely slice the onion. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 mins, until softened. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add the garlic, curry powder, tikka paste and chilli flakes (to taste) to the onion pan. Cook for 1 min, then add the chickpeas, chopped tomatoes and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 8-10 mins, until thickened.
  3. Roughly chop the coriander. Once the beetroot is soft, stir the beetroot, spinach and half the coriander into the curry. Season well with sea salt and black pepper and simmer until the spinach has wilted.
  4. Serve the curry in bowls alongside the rice. Garnish with the remaining coriander (to taste).
