Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large frying pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the ginger and garlic and saute for one more minute.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, curry powder, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Mix well and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the chickpeas, diced sweet potatoes, and one cup of water. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the sweet potato is almost tender.
  • Add the coconut milk and simmer until the sweet potatoes are fully cooked. Add the spinach and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and squeeze in lemon juice. Serve hot with rice or naan bread.

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, you can roast the cubed sweet potatoes in the oven for 15-20 minutes before adding them to the curry. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • You can incorporate other vegetables, such as chopped broccoli, bell peppers, or green beans, for added color and texture.
  • If the curry is too thick, add a bit of vegetable broth or water to achieve your desired consistency. If it is too thin, let it simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to reduce.
