Easy delicious Chickpea, Sweet Potato & Spinach Curry with quinoa for extra protein!
I use this curry base all the time because it’s budget friendly using mostly pantry ingredients, easy to make and always handy with leftovers for meals during the week! Plus I like mix it up a bit and substitute the sweet potato for cauliflower, butternut squash or pumpkin depending what I have in the house
Ingredients:
- 1 medium brown onion, diced
- 2 fat cloves garlic, minced
- 300g Sweet Potato, peeled & cut into bite-sized chunks
- 400g can coconut milk
- 400g can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
- 400g fan chopped tomatoes
- 2tsp ground cumin
- 2tsp ground coriander
- 1tsp ground ginger
- 1tbsp medium curry powder
- 1/4 tsp dried chilli flakes
- a couple handfuls of fresh spinach
- salt & pepper, to taste
Method:
First steam/boil the sweet potato chunks for 10 mins until soft enough to poke a fork through without breaking apart. Then set aside.
Sauté the onion & garlic in a large saucepan on a medium heat with a little water/oil for 10 mins until see through.
Add in all the spices stir for 1 min until fragrant, then pour in the chopped tomatoes & coconut milk, sweet potato & chickpeas. Season with salt & pepper, give it a good stir. Bring to boil, then turn the heat down to low and simmer for 30 mins until the sauce has thickened & reduced.
Add in a couple handfuls of spinach 5 mins before end of cooking time to wilt.
Serve the curry with rice or quinoa. Enjoy!!
