Instructions
- Heat a large dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add about 1/2 cup of coconut milk. Stir until it is thick and shiny, about 2 minutes.
- Add the curry paste. Stir until fully mixed and fragrant.
- Add the rest of the coconut milk, brown sugar, peanut butter and fish sauce. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the onion, bell pepper, butternut squash and chickpeas. Stir and cover, reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the spinach. Cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes.
- Serve over rice if desired. If the curry turns out spicier than you intended, serving it with some plain yogurt will tone down the spiciness.
Notes
- For meal prep: Make a pot of brown rice. Evenly divide chickpea curry and rice between four containers. Keep in the fridge for up to four days.
- Curry Paste: The brand you use matters. I like Mae Ploy Curry Paste, which is more flavorful than other brands I have used. However, it is also spicier. I use less of it than the amount I use with other brands. If you are using another brand like Thai Kitchen, you may need to use more.
- If the curry turns out spicier than you intended, serving with plain yogurt will tone down the spiciness and adds a nice flavor and texture.
