Preparation

  1. Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 2cm chunks.
  2. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. Heat the sunflower oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the garlic, ginger, curry powder, coriander, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and pepper, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the sweet potatoes, chickpeas, chopped tomatoes, tomato purée, and coconut milk.
  5. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
  6. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of water.
  7. Stir in the spinach until wilted, then remove from heat.

Plating & Serving

Serve the curry over basmati or pilau rice, garnished with fresh coriander and red onion slices.

Notes

For a slow cooker version, transfer the curry to a slow cooker after bringing it to a simmer and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-6 hours. Stir in the spinach just before serving. The curry can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
