Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic, ginger, spices including cumin seeds and sauté for two more minutes.
  2. Stir in the carrots, sweet potato, tomatoes, pumpkin puree, chickpeas, coconut milk, sugar, salt and water or broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Cook for 20-30 minutes until sweet potatoes and carrots are tender. Turn off heat and add in spinach, and stir till it wilts. Add the juice of the lime or lemon.
  4. Serve with fluffy basmati rice, or to go above and beyond, homemade naan. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe was adapted from Hannah Chia.
  • Cut the sweet potatoes and carrots evenly so that they cook through evenly.
  • Make sure you saute out the onions to really develop the flavor.
  • If you want to add meat or chicken to this, feel free.  Just cook whatever meat you choose (chicken, beef, lamb) after adding the spices until cooked through, then proceed with the recipe.
  • If you like, you can add regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes, although this will change the flavor.
  • Serving suggestions: I like this with a simple side of basmati rice (like the one in this recipe, minus the vermicelli). It's also delicious with homemade naan bread. 
  • Storing leftovers: 
  • You can store leftover curry in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-6 days- which makes it great for meal prep.  You can also freeze the curry for up to two months, thawing overnig
