I recently made this sweet potato and chickpea curry and the results were delicious and so I wanted to share them.
Ingredients:
- 2 sweet potatoes - peeled and chopped
- Half a butternut squash - peeled and chopped (optional)
- 1 bag of fresh spinach
- 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
- 1 tin of chickpeas (drained)
- 1 tin of coconut milk
- 1 white onion - roughly chopped
- 200m water (preferably with any stock cube)
- 1 tbs vegatable oil
- 2 large tsp of turmeric
- 3 large tsp of garam masala
- 3 garlic cloves - finely chopped
- 1tsp honey
- Lime and black pepper
- Cardamon pods, chicken masala, cumin seeds & coriander (OPTIONAL)
Method:
- Fry the onions in a pot with the oil for around 5 mins then add the garlic, garam masala and turmeric and mix so that the spices don't catch;
- add the chopped tomatoes, coconut milk, sweet potatoes and butternut squash to the pot together with the 200ml of water or stock;
- allow to simmer and continue cooking for 15 mins;
- add in the chickpeas and cook for a further 15 mins until the sweet potato is soft and cooked;
- at the end, add in the spinach and put a lid on the pan and leave for 3 mins until the spinach is wilted. It will look like too much spinach at first but it won't be after a few minutes;
- stir through the honey and lime and add some black pepper;
- serve with rice.
