In a medium pot, heat the sautéed aromatics on medium-high until hot. Add the diced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the curry powder. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the tomato achaar and chickpeas (including the liquid). Using a fork or potato masher, lightly mash the chickpeas, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly mashed and broken down. Add the broth; season with salt and pepper. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Add the spinach; season with salt and pepper. Stir until wilted and combined. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
