Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 can (15 oz) coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional)
  • Cooked rice or naan, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

  3. Add sweet potatoes and red bell pepper. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  4. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Stir in the spinach and let it wilt, about 2 minutes. Add lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot over rice or with naan. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of red curry paste to your spice preference.
  • Add chickpeas or tofu for extra protein.
  • Leftovers keep well and are even more flavorful the next day.
  • Use baby spinach for quicker wilting and tender texture.
