Add in 2 tsp salt, 1 tbsp coriander powder, 1 tsp jeera powder, 1 tsp MDH brand Shahi Paneer Masala powder (my all-time favorite), 1 tsp garam masala powder, 2 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder, ½ tsp haldi/turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper powder, pinch of hing/asafetida; stir fry for 2-3 minutes until oil starts to ooze from around the sides of the mixture.
Mix well and simmer, covered on medium low for about 5 to 7 minutes. Do a taste test and adjust seasonings.
Open the saucepan, and stir in 3 cups of chopped baby spinach leaves (about 2 cups chopped spinach) and simmer again covered about 2 minutes.
Mix, adjust consistency (add more water, salt or any other seasonings if needed) and serve hot with some hot flat breads like rotis, parathas, naan, puris or even some hot steamed rice.
TO MAKE IN AN INSTANT POT:
Presoak chickpeas overnight, drain and set aside.
Follow all the steps mentioned above and then add the soaked and drained chickpeas to the onion-tomato masala.
Add 3-4 cups hot water and "PRESSURE COOK ON HIGH" for 30 minutes or on "Bean" option if you have that on your instant pot.
NPR (naturally pressure release 10 minutes) and then QPR (quick pressure release).
Once the seal drops, open the pot and add some roughly chopped spinach or a bunch of salad greens. I have used a mixture of organic spinach and arugula leaves.
Adjust consistency and taste, simmer for a couple of minutes.
