Coconut Cauliflower Curry with Sweet Potatoes, Chickpeas & Spinach

Nicole Kearsley

If you're looking to feed a crowd, this recipe is for you. This dish is really good but a little spicy since it calls for 1/4 tsp of cayenne. If you're a wimp like me, maybe use a little less.

Ingredients

  

• 1 piece Onion chopped
• 1 pound Sweet Potato chopped into 1" pieces
• 1 piece Head Cauliflower cut into florets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Curry Powder
• 1 tablespoon Garam Masala
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 28 ounces Tomatoes diced
• 15 ounces Coconut Milk
• 15 ounces Chickpeas drained and rinsed
• 4 cups Baby Spinach
• Fresh Cilantro chopped
• Rice of choice

Instructions

 

• Prepare rice according to the package directions.
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil. When hot, sauté onion for 2 minutes, then add sweet potato and sauté for another 3 minutes.
• Add cauliflower and 1/2 tsp salt then continue to sauté another 5 minutes.
• Stir in curry powder, garam masala, cumin, and cayenne. Add tomatoes and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat and simmer approximately 13 to 15 minutes until the cauliflower and sweet potato are tender.
• When the vegetables are tender, stir in chickpeas and spinach; continue to stir for until the spinach is wilted and chickpeas heated through, approximately 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 tsp salt or to taste.
• Serve over rice, sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

Notes

MAKE IT LIGHTER: If you want a lighter dish, use a lower fat coconut milk.

SERVING: I really like this with naan, but rice is great too, and you really don’t even need a side with it. Without something carb-y to soak up the sauce, it’s a tiny bit like a soup and equally delicious.

TOO SWEET?: Apple cider vinegar helps to cut through the sweetness of both the coconut milk and the sweet potato, and it’s not noticeable in the finished dish. Add a tablespoon if you find the original recipe too sweet.

WANT TO ADD SOME KALE?: If you’re using kale, you may want to cook it for a minute in the curry instead of just wilting it at the end. 

TOMATO: Canned tomatoes are a good substitute for fresh if you have them, in the same quantity.

SWEET POTATO: Carrots also work well in place of the sweet potato.
