Sweet Potato Curry With Spinach and Chickpeas

A good start to a great curry! I followed the directions with a few additions:

1) Prior to sauteing the onions I sauteed about a teaspoon of black mustard seeds in the vegetable oil--until they started crackling.
2) I added about a teaspoon a fresh grated ginger and one serrano pepper, minced, when sauteing the onion.
3) For the spice mixture I used: 1tbs mild curry powder, 1tbs garam masala, 1tbs cumin, 1tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp red pepper, 1/2 tsp salt.
4) I ended up adding a total of 1 1/4 cups water--kept evaporating.

Same basic recipe, but still could've used a little more kick. Anyhow, I'll certainly be making it again with the said changes. THANKS!

Delicious! We love sweet potatoes and never even considered using them in a curry. I followed the recipe as written, but I think I would add more spices, including some garlic and pepper flakes. the tomatoes were very tasty. Thank you!

I have to amend my review! We had this again last night and though I thought I had all the ingredients, I didn't, so had to improvise. I ended up using pinto beans instead of chick peas, and bulgur wheat instead of rice. It was a hit!

Had for supper on Saturday night. Not too complicated to put together, and great flavor. We served with Jasmine rice which was very nice. Does anyone have suggestions for how to get the rice grains separated (like in Indian restaurants, instead of sticky/fluffy? My husband and I have really been enjoying Indian cuisine, and although we are not vegetarian, I prepare meatless dishes at least once a week, so this was wonderful. I do not understand people who doubled the spices and still found bland. We prepared as is and thought the dish to be very flavorful.

Delicious! Was hesitant because of some reviews saying this was bland (we really like strong flavors!) - but made as directed with good quality spices and it was perfect. Used Penzys Vindaloo curry powder, which surprisingly added enough heat for our spice-loving taste, and the whole dish had excellent flavor. Seasoned basmati rice with 3 cardamom pods, 1/2 tsp. cumin, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon and a tad bit of butter and everything came together wonderfully. Will make again and again.

I loved this!! I followed it as written except I cooked the sweet potato in the spices and tomatoes, then added the beans when the potatoes were soft, and then the spinach. I love the cinnamon taste, absolutely delicious.
