Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 200 °C. In a bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with oil and salt, spread them on a baking tray and roast for 25–30 minutes, until tender and golden brown.
2
Meanwhile, in a larger pot, sauté the onion in oil until translucent. Add the garlic, ginger and curry paste and stir for 1–2 minutes to release the aroma of the spices.
3
Pour the coconut milk into the pot and stir in the peanut butter until dissolved. Add the chickpeas and let the sauce simmer gently for 10 minutes over medium heat.
4
Stir the fresh spinach into the curry and cook just long enough for the spinach to slightly wilt.
5
Finally, gently stir the roasted sweet potato into the curry (you can save a few cubes for garnish on top). Drizzle with lime juice for freshness.
6
Serve the dish in deep bowls, sprinkled with fresh cilantro. Add cooked brown rice or quinoa if desired.
