Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
- 1 (15 ounces) can chickpeas, drained
- 1 (14 ounces) can full-fat coconut milk
Vegetable Components:
- 1/2 cup onions, chopped
- 1 cup bell pepper, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Spices:
- 4 tablespoons red curry paste
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Warm a large pot over medium heat with a thin layer of oil or vegetable broth, creating a fragrant cooking environment.
- Introduce minced garlic, diced onions, and sliced bell pepper to the pot, sautéing for approximately 3 minutes until vegetables become translucent and slightly tender.
- Incorporate cubed sweet potatoes, rich coconut milk, and vibrant red curry paste, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
- Allow the mixture to gently simmer for 10 minutes, periodically stirring to prevent sticking and promote consistent cooking.
- Fold in drained chickpeas, creating a hearty texture and protein-rich dimension to the curry.
- Enhance the dish with salt and pepper, adjusting seasoning to personal taste preferences.
- Continue cooking for an additional 6 minutes, enabling the ingredients to harmonize and develop a deep, complex flavor profile.
- During the final minute, delicately fold in fresh chopped spinach, allowing the leaves to gracefully wilt into the warm curry.
- Transfer the aromatic curry to serving dishes, positioning over steamed rice for a complete meal.
- Elevate the presentation by garnishing with fresh cilantro, zesty lime wedges, or a delicate drizzle of coconut milk.
Notes
- Boost the curry’s flavor by toasting curry paste in the pan before adding liquid, which intensifies the aromatic spices and deepens the overall taste profile.
- Swap chickpeas with white beans or lentils for protein variety, ensuring the dish remains hearty and nutritionally balanced.
- Choose firm sweet potatoes without soft spots to maintain a perfect texture and prevent mushiness during cooking.
- Keep spinach vibrant by adding it at the very end, preserving its bright green color and preventing overcooking that can make it turn dull and lose nutrients.
