Ingredients

  • 1000 g Kūmara (sweet potato)
  • 400 ml Coconut milk (full-fat)
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 2 cm piece Ginger
  • 2 tablespoons Red curry paste
  • 250 ml Vegetable broth
  • 150 g Spinach
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 4 cups Cooked rice

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Peel the 1000 g of kūmara (sweet potato) and cut it into 2.54 cm cubes. Dice the 1 medium onion, mince the 3 cloves of garlic, and grate the 2 cm piece of ginger.
  2. 2Heat the 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (about 175°C / 175°C). Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until it looks softened and is a light golden color.
  3. 3Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and 2 tablespoons of red curry paste to the pot. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the mixture is fragrant.
  4. 4Add the cubed kūmara, 400 ml of full-fat coconut milk, and 250 ml of vegetable broth to the pot. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. 5Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it cook for 20-25 minutes. The kūmara is tender when you can easily pierce a cube with a fork.
  6. 6Add the 150 g of spinach to the pot. Stir it into the curry and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted.
  7. 7Taste the curry and add the 0.5 teaspoon of salt if needed. Stir well.
  8. 8Serve the dairy-free kūmara and coconut curry hot over the 4 cups of cooked rice.
