Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 1 can Chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 large Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 400 milliliters Coconut milk
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Spinach
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into about 1-inch cubes. Rinse and drain the chickpeas if using canned.
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Grate or mince the ginger.
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and ginger to the pot and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, and turmeric powder. Cook for another minute to toast the spices.
Add the tomato paste, stirring to combine, then pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth.
Stir well and add the diced potatoes, chickpeas, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and check the consistency. Add a bit more broth if the curry is too thick.
Once the potatoes are cooked, stir in the spinach and allow it to wilt, which should take about 3 minutes.
Add lemon juice and adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy with rice or naan bread.
