Delicious Sweet Potato Curry With Spinach And Chickpeas Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 2 cups sweet potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup chickpeas, canned or cooked (drained and rinsed)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (washed and chopped)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 2 tablespoons oil (for cooking)
  • salt to taste

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

    Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  2. Add Sweet Potatoes

    Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine with the aromatics.

    Cook for about 5 minutes to slightly soften them.
  3. Incorporate Spices

    Sprinkle in the curry powder, turmeric, and salt. Mix thoroughly to coat the sweet potatoes.

    This helps to enhance the flavor of the spices.
  4. Pour in Coconut Milk

    Pour the coconut milk into the pot and stir well. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

    Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  5. Add Chickpeas and Spinach

    Stir in the chickpeas and chopped spinach. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach wilts.

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
