1 Ingredients

Qty Item
3 large Sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cans Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 can Full-fat coconut milk
2 cups Vegetable broth
1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
4 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
2 tbsp Yellow curry powder
1 tsp Turmeric powder
3 cups Fresh baby spinach
1 tbsp Lime juice

2 Instructions

1

Place the cubed sweet potatoes, chickpeas, diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger into the slow cooker insert.

2

In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, curry powder, and turmeric. Pour this mixture over the vegetables in the slow cooker.

3

Cover and cook on Low for 7-8 hours or on High for 3-4 hours, until the sweet potatoes are tender.

4

Stir in the full-fat coconut milk and the fresh baby spinach. Cover and let sit for another 10-15 minutes until the spinach has wilted.

5

Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm over basmati rice or with naan bread.


πŸ’‘ Tips & Tricks

  • Β·

    For a thicker sauce, mash a few of the sweet potato chunks against the side of the slow cooker before adding the coconut milk.

  • Β·

    Always use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture; light coconut milk can result in a watery sauce.

  • Β·

    If you prefer a bit of heat, add a teaspoon of red chili flakes or a tablespoon of red curry paste.

  • Β·

    Add the spinach at the very end to ensure it stays vibrant green and doesn't overcook.
