Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the curry paste and sauté for another minute.
  2. Add the sweet potatoes, chickpeas, coconut milk, water, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  3. Stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Serve over rice if desired.
