Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 carrots cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic about 2 cloves
- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 14- ounce can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 4 tablespoons raisins
- 1/3 cup cashew pieces
- 3 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the carrot, potato, garam masala, and cumin. Sauté for 1 minute, then add the garlic and onion and stir well.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and allow the mixture to boil for 2 minutes. Add the chickpeas and the raisins, cover the pan, and turn the heat down to medium-low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Meanwhile, place a dry sauté pan over medium heat and toast the cashews, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the stew is done simmering, stir in the spinach and allow it to wilt for 1 minute. Stir in the cilantro leaves and lemon juice. Sprinkle the cashews over the top before serving.
