Ingredients
  

1 tablespoon coconut oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 inch piece of ginger, grated

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed

1 can (400g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 can (400ml) coconut milk

1 cup vegetable broth

1 tablespoon curry powder

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 cup baby spinach or kale

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add the coconut oil. Once melted, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add Vegetables: Add the cubed sweet potato to the pot and stir well to combine with the onion mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the sweet potato to absorb the flavors.

      Spice It Up: Sprinkle the curry powder, turmeric powder, ground cumin, and red chili flakes over the sweet potato. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the spices.

        Add Liquids: Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Simmer: Cover the pot with a lid and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender.

            Add Chickpeas & Greens: Once the sweet potato is tender, gently stir in the chickpeas and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Then, add the baby spinach or kale and cook until the greens are wilted.

              Season: Squeeze in the lime juice and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust any spices or seasoning according to your preference.

                Serve: Remove from heat. Ladle the curry into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with steamed rice or naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
