Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice with 3 cups of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger with the spices, cooking for 1 minute to bloom the spices.
Pour in the low-sodium vegetable broth and canned diced tomatoes, and add the chickpeas. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the fresh spinach and coconut milk to the skillet, cooking until the spinach is wilted and the coconut milk is well incorporated.
Season with black pepper to taste.
To serve, place a portion of rice on a plate and spoon the curry over the top. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
