Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 1 large onion (diced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon chili powder or red pepper flakes (optional, adjust for heat)
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes (drained)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 3 cups fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir in the ground cumin, turmeric, coriander, and chili powder (if using). Let the spices toast in the oil for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the pot, followed by the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the coconut milk, stir, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, stir in the chopped spinach and let it wilt into the curry.
- Season the curry with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lime juice. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with additional lime wedges or fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- You can add other veggies like cauliflower, carrots, or peas for extra texture and flavor.
- Adjust the spice level to your preference. For more heat, add more chili flakes or fresh ginger.
