Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion diced, small
- 1 yam cubed, or Yukon gold potato, small jewel variety
- 3 cloves garlic minced, large
- 2 tsp ginger peeled and grated, fresh
- 1 cup coconut milk full-fat, canned
- 1 Tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp cumin ground
- 1 tsp kashmiri chili powder optional, red
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 3/4 tsp salt to taste, sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon Turmeric ground
- 1 diced tomatoes 14-ounce can, drained, un-salted recommended
- 1 chickpeas 14-ounce can, drained and rinsed
- 4 cups baby spinach loosely packed
- rice cooked, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the coconut oil over medium-high in a medium-sized non-stick skillet. Add the onion and chopped yam and cook, stirring occasionally, until potato is cooked through but still al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes (Note: you can cover the skillet to help steam and cook the potato if necessary).
- While the potato and onion is cooking, combine the coconut milk, curry powder, cumin, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and turmeric in a small blender. Blend until completely smooth and set aside.
- Add the garlic and ginger to the skillet with the potato and onion and cook another 2 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes and cook until any excess water has evaporated, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the coconut milk mixture and chickpeas to the skillet and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly and add the spinach. Cover and cook until spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes. Taste the chana saag for flavor and season with additional sea salt and/or spices.
- Serve Chana Saag with cooked white rice (or grain of choice). Note: if you're not in a rush, cook the chana saag at a low simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
