Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 TBSP avocado oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 TBSP minced ginger
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 4 cups peeled and finely diced sweet potato
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tsp finely diced jalapeño
  • 2 cups chicken, beef or vegetable broth/stock or water
  • 2.5 cups drained and rinsed chickpeas
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 34 cups roughly chopped spinach
  • squeeze of lime

Instructions

  1. Heat avocado oil over medium high heat in a large saucepan, braiser, or medium-sized pot.
  2. Add onions, ginger and garlic and stir to combine. Sauté until onions are translucent and soft.
  3. Add curry powder, cinnamon, and cumin. Allow spices to bloom then stir.
  4. Add sweet potatoes and salt and stir to combine.
  5. Add cilantro and jalapeños and stir to combine.
  6. Add broth/stock of choice or water. Turn down the heat and allow to simmer, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add chickpeas and coconut milk, and stir to combine.
  8. Let simmer, about 15-20 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender and the curry thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. 
  9. Add spinach and stir until wilted.
  10. Add squeeze of lime and stir. Adjust for salt.*
  11. Serve warm, topped with optional garnishes. Pair with rice, gluten-free tortillas, gluten-free naan, or other sides of choice.

Notes

*You’ll need to add more salt once the sweet potatoes have cooked down as they absorb salt and sweeten the dish, to balance the flavors.
