Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, ground cinnamon, and chili flakes (if using). Toast the spices for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Add the diced sweet potatoes, eggplant, and canned chickpeas. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover the pot with a lid and cook for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes and eggplant are tender.
Season the hotpot with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Serve the hotpot hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro and a wedge of lemon on the side for added brightness. Enjoy with rice, bread, or on its own!
