Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and red chili flakes. Sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the cumin, smoked paprika, and turmeric. Stir well to coat the onions in the spices.
Add the cubed potatoes, chickpeas, crushed tomatoes, and vegetable broth to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
In a small bowl, whisk the peanut butter with 1/2 cup of the hot liquid from the pot until smooth. Return the peanut butter mixture to the pot and stir well.
Add the lime juice, baby spinach, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and roasted peanuts, if desired. Serve hot with rice, bread, or enjoy on its own.
