Peel the sweet potato and cut it into 2 cm cubes. Drop them into a bowl of cold water so they don't turn dark.
Tip · For a creamier curry, lightly mash a few sweet potato cubes with a fork before adding them.
Slice the onion and garlic
Peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel and chop the garlic.
Sauté the onion
In the skillet with 1 tbsp of olive oil, sauté the onion over medium heat for 3 min until it turns translucent. Add the garlic and cook 1 min more.
Add the sweet potato
Add the drained sweet potato cubes to the skillet. Stir well to coat them in the oil and onion. Let them cook for 5 min over medium heat, stirring now and then.
Pour in the coconut milk
Add the coconut milk and curry powder. Stir well to spread the spices around. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer, covered, for 10 min, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Add the chickpeas
Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add them to the skillet with the fresh spinach. Stir and let it cook for 5 min over low heat so the spinach wilts.
Tip · To keep the spinach from releasing too much water, add it at the very end and stir quickly.
Season
Taste and adjust the salt and pepper to your liking. If it's too thick, add a splash of hot water.
